Valid search modes

Endeca에서는 같은 검색어라도 여러 형태의 검색모드를 지원해서 다른 검색결과를 갖을 수 있다.
endeca_reference에서 'match mode'라는 select box가 바로 그것이다.

'match mode' select box의 각 option 값들이 query로 바뀌어서 Ntx='xyz'의 xyz에 어떻게
매치되는지는 아래와 같다.

All -> mode+matchall
    => Match all user search terms (the default).
Any -> mode+matchany
    => Match at least one user search term.
Partial -> mode+matchpartial
    => Match some user search terms.
Best Partial -> mode+matchpartialmax
    => Match a maximal subset of user search terms.
Boolean -> mode+matchboolean
    => Match using a Boolean query.
All > Any -> mode+matchallany
    => Match all user search terms if possible, otherwise match at least one.
All > Partial -> mode+matchallpartial
    => Match all user search terms if possible, otherwise match some.

안타깝게도 각각의 search mode가 어떤 차이를 보이는지는 아직 모두 파악하지 못했다.
하하 오쪼다가 각각 어떤 역할을 하는지 찾았다. ^^;

조금 더 설명이 된 게 있어서 추가...

The search mode can be specified independently for each record search operation contained in a navigation query, as well as for the dimension search query. Valid search modes are the following:

MatchAll Match all user search terms (that is, perform a conjunctive search). This is the default mode.
MatchPartial Match some user search terms.
MatchAny Match at least one user search term.
MatchAllAny Match all user search terms if possible, otherwise match at least one.

MatchAllAny is not recommended in cases where queries can exceed two words. For example, a query on womens small brown shoes would return results on each of these four words and thus be essentially useless. In general, MatchAllPartial is a better strategy.

MatchAllPartial Match all user search terms if possible, otherwise match some.

Because you can configure this mode to match at least two or three words in a multi-word query, MatchAllPartial is generally a better choice than MatchAllAny.

MatchPartialMax Match a maximal subset of user search terms.
MatchBoolean Match using a Boolean query.
