FindAddress DE with 3 postal codes

Post by Gilbert »

Hello!

Is there a way to search for addresses with, for example, 3 postal codes?
For example: DE 061 <--- no result

(I think there was an ASTERISKMODE in older version for that, but it's outdated since 1.17.
The findSuggestion function works well, but it's not the same thing.)

Thanks for help!
Regards

Hi Gilbert

Your are getting no result because there are more than 100. And the xLocate stops if it will detect more as 100 possible results.
You can switch off this behavior if you set the FrequncyFilter=0. You can do this directly if you add the following paraeter in the native-default.xml:
<FrequencyFiltering Value="0" Type="bool"/>
After doing that you have to restart the xLocate ;)
I also recocment to the switch on the ExtensiveSearch, in some cases you are getting better results.
<ExtensiveSearch Value="1" Type="bool"/>
This parameter costs you performance. The performance loss depends on the request, not for every request you will loose it but you have to calculate about 10%

Works great!

I combine this with a SearchOption to finally not get endless: SearchParameter.MAX_RESULT, value = "300"

Works perfect Thank you!
