Finding Items in a Catalog

You use the Catalog Editor module to search a catalog. You can perform the following searches:

Property search. You can search for properties that have specific values. For example, Price < $10 and Color = Red. By default, all properties can be used in property searches.
Free-text search. When you add property definitions to your catalog, you select the Free text searchable box to specify that they are available for free text search. A free text search is one that retrieves all instances of the property in your catalog. These property definitions are logged into an index. You must update the full text index after changes are made to your catalogs that are marked as searchable. For information about updating the full text index, see Refreshing and Publishing a Catalog.
