Used in

Macro	Description
FacetedSearchQueryBuilder	Builds an SQL query for Faceted Search.

Remarks

Returns the mode as set on the facetedsearchquerybuilder macro. Can be used to execute certain logic when e.g. a search query is being assembled and skip this logic when a count query or facet query is being assembled:

{sys.iif(this.isbasequery() \|\| this.mode()!=SearchQuery, '1', 'NULL')} AS BaseSearch

Example

Faceted Search Query Xml - SearchBase Query Element Example (Fulltext)

The Faceted Search Query Builder macro (se:facetedsearchquerybuilder) contains a lot of local instance vipers. Usually, local instance vipers are used within the macro itself, e.g. formatting, but in this case the local instance vipers should only be used within a query xml definition.

This example shows a searchbase query element from a query xml definition in which some of the available local instance vipers are used. The example here is only applicable for a fulltext indexing scenario.
