Generic search - value list behavior

The element Generic Search - value list behavior provides a couple of parameters to manage the behavior of the query builder of the WebOffice core client. However, the parameters minimum user input length and wait time (ms) also have impact on the full-text search behavior.

In order to enable the query builder for a certain query, you have to allow it by setting the parameter Query builder enabled? to Yes. The query builder will then use the configured Search Field List and List of Search Result Views of the layer.

Query builder queries may be even more powerful than queries defined in the project configuration. You may specify brackets as well as the operators is NULL" and "is not NULL" to review the consistency of your data.
