Generic Search - Value List Behavior

The element Generic Search 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.
