Introduction

The framework comes with skinnable sample search page, which can be used for ad-hoc searching.

It is accessable at http://localhost:8080/eccenca/SearchForm when on the system where eccenca is installed.

This page is more thought of a tool for the admins and integrators than for end users in a productive installation.

It can be used to quickly check the contents of an index or to prepare a demo case quickly w/o having to setup a whole web application and integrating eccenca into it.

Short Description

The Sample Search Page opens to a Welcome screen that shows on the left a list of existing indexes.
Clicking on one of them will open a search form in the main view of the page, listing all fields of the selected index.

Entering values here will issue a simple search against the selected index and display the returned results. All default search configs that you have made to templates and data dictionary are applied.

With URL manipulation it is possible to set some parameters of the simple search itself but this is a [topic on its own].

Without any search configuration of the index, eccenca CE (actually Lucene) will OR the search terms in case more than one search field is queried.
If there are index fields on which a range search can be done, then both values must be supplied, otherwise an error occurs.
