Table of Contents
Kavi Showcase visitors can browse for Profiles and Catalog Items by categories. When a category is browsed, all the Catalog Items or Profiles in that category and its subcategories are displayed. When a category is searched, the search retrieves all the Profiles or Catalog Items in that category plus any subcategories. If there are multiple categories with the same name, all categories with that name are retrieved.
In the example below, the category 'Electronics' appears as both a top-level catalog item category and as a subcategory of 'Toys and Kitchenware'. The diagram shows how browsing by the 'Electronics' category guides the visitor through the 'Electronics' branch of catalog items. However if the visitor searches by 'Electronics', Kavi Showcase displays any item assigned to the 'Electronics' category, including a remote control car (category: 'Toys > Electronics'), coffee maker (category: 'Kitchenware > Electronics') and portable CD player (category: 'Electronics > Stereos').

The search function in Kavi Showcase works differently from other Kavi applications. Showcase offers advanced search options that allow you to search for a set of words (i.e., 'set' meaning a string of one or more words separated by spaces) and specify whether you want the search function to return results for items that match any word in the set, only items that match every words in the set in order, or items that match every word in the set in any order. The Showcase search function only matches complete words, as opposed to searches in other applications that will also match partial words.
The search will be performed on all the textual content in the showcase, including item titles, descriptions and keywords.
Enter the set of words for which you want to search, then specify the type of match you want, as described in the following list.
Types of matches
- exact
If set to 'exact', the search will only return matches that include every word in the set in order.
- all
If set to 'all', the search will return matches that include every word in the string regardless of order.
- any
If set to 'any', the search will return items matches that include any word in the string.
Example 1.1. How match type affects results
Imagine that a visitor searches on 'remote control car'. Depending on which type of matching was selected, different results would be returned. Note that 'exact' returns the narrowest set of results, 'all' returns a somewhat larger pool of results and 'any' is the most inclusive.
Results for different 'remote control car' searches:
- Results for 'exact'
The results only display matches to text that includes the words 'remote control car' in order.
- Results for 'all'
The results display matches to text that include the words 'remote control car' in any order, so the matches would include 'car with remote control', 'car featuring remote control', etc.
- Results for 'any'
The results display matches to text that includes any of the words 'remote', 'control' or 'car'. So it would include matches to 'remote control car', 'car with remote control', 'car featuring remote control', as well as any other 'car' in the showcase, plus other items whose descriptive text includes the words 'remote' or 'control', such as televisions and stereos.
