XML Indexing

XML Indexing lets site visitors search XML information collected via Smart Forms and view the results. The results appear as a list of topic titles, optionally followed by the content summary.

The Data Designer lets you choose which XML fields to index. You can also validate those fields to be numbers, dates, Boolean, or string values. After you identify fields to be indexed, a search dialog is created. Where appropriate, the dialog automatically populates drop down lists from the indexed data.

Note: As the name implies, XML indexing is only available for information collected on XML Smart Forms. It cannot find information in other types of content.
