Procedure

Configure the skipFetchingFacetValueImageAndSequence search property in the catalog component configuration file (wc-component.xml) on the Search EAR:
  1. Open the catalog component configuration file on the Search EAR for editing.
    The component configuration file is stored in the following location:
    Search_eardir/xml/config/com.ibm.commerce.component_name/wc-component.xml
    The default component configuration file for the search application.
    Search_eardir/xml/config/com.ibm.commerce.component_name-ext/wc-component.xml
    The extended component configuration file for the search application.
    To change the value of an existing property in the WebSphere Commerce search component configuration file, you must create a customized version of the file in this location. The customized version of the file must contain only the changed properties.
    For more information about the values within the file, see Search properties in the component configuration file (wc-component.xml) (Search EAR).
  2. Set the following property:
    <_config:configgrouping name="SearchConfiguration">    
                 
                 <!-- 	This parameter is set to 'true', if we want to avoid retrieving facet value image and sequence 
                	 	from the database. This can be useful to customers who have facetable attributes with a large number of values and  
                 		who do not define explicit sequence for facet values and have no need to display facet value images.
                 -->
                 <_config:property name="skipFetchingFacetValueImageAndSequence" value="true"/>
    </_config:configgrouping>
    

    For more information about setting values in the file, see Changing properties in the component configuration file (wc-component.xml) (Search EAR).
