Configuration options reference

Default and inherited values

Configuration keys applied in a data source, search package or results page are made up of explicitly set configuration keys (set in the data source, search package or results page configuration) plus inherited values.

For data sources, configuration is sourced as follows:

  1. Any value set in the data source configuration (data source collection.cfg), overriding

  2. Any value set in the administrator set configuration defaults (system-wide collection.cfg), overriding

  3. Any value set in the Funnelback configuration defaults (server collection.cfg.default)

For search packages, configuration is sourced as follows:

  1. Any value set in the search package configuration (search package collection.cfg), overriding

  2. Any value set in the administrator set configuration defaults (server collection.cfg), overriding

  3. Any value set in the Funnelback configuration defaults (server collection.cfg.default)

For results pages, configuration is sourced as follows:

  1. Any value set in the results page configuration (results page profile.cfg), overriding

  2. Any value set in the search package configuration (search package collection.cfg), overriding

  3. Any value set in the administrator set configuration defaults (server collection.cfg), overriding

  4. Any value set in the Funnelback configuration defaults (server collection.cfg.default)

Some results page configuration keys can only be set in the search package configuration and some can only be set in the results page configuration. These are noted in the individual key documentation (as can be set on collection.cfg or profile.cfg)
