Customizing the Madisons starter store search for the new search profile

Introduced in Feature Pack 2

In this lesson, the Madisons starter store is modified to take advantage of the newly created search profile.

This tutorial only extends the IBM_findCatalogEntryByNameAndShortDescription profile in the wc-search.xml file. For more information on other profiles in the wc-search.xml file that you can extend and the effects of changing these profiles, see WebSphere Commerce search configuration file (wc-search.xml) (WC EAR). For more information about making changes to extend these profiles, see Changing properties in the search configuration file (wc-search.xml) (WC EAR).
