Note: After various search categories have been defined in this entry point, you will have to relate these categories to configured queries. See chapter Query - Where Clause for details.

Note: If you do not relate every predefined query to an according search category, all unclassified configured queries will be listed automatically in a category "Other queries".

Note: In case a user defines a query and saves it, this type of query will be listed in an automatically created "User defined queries" category. For providing this functionality you have to check the following parameters:

•"Query builder enabled?" set to "true" - see chapter Query for details.

•"Store a Query Builder queries?" set to "true" - see chapter Common Settings for details.

Note: See also chapter Queries for information about how search categories appear in the WebOffice html client.
