Set the type of search space

This section explains how to set the type of search space.

Before creating a Product Advisor search space for a category from the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator:

Procedure

1. Open the WebSphere Commerce configuration file.
   

2. To create separate search category:

   1. For separate search space, set the value "true" to the <CompatibilityMode> tag

      <SearchSpaceConfiguration name="Search Space Configuration">
      <CompatibilityMode value="true"/>
      <GenerateXMLFile value="false"/>
      </SearchSpaceConfiguration> 
      

   2. For base search space, set the value "false" to the <CompatibilityMode> tag

      <SearchSpaceConfiguration name="Search Space Configuration">
      <CompatibilityMode value="false"/>
      <GenerateXMLFile value="false"/>
      </SearchSpaceConfiguration>
      

3. Restart the WCS instance for the changes to take effect.
