Once we upgraded to IAP/MDEX 6.1 from IAP 5.1 record properties are no longer being returned in Supplemental objects from dynamic business rules. Let’s see why? Earlier with IAP 5.1, record properties will show with Supplemental objects, as they are configured to be returned for record-detail queries (“Show with record” setting in property or dimension editor dialog in Developer Studio).

There are different Relevance Ranking module available for ordering search results which are […]
“Did you mean?” functionality allows an application to provide site user with explicit alternative suggestions for a keyword search. For example, if a user searches for “lapto” in sample data, user will get few results. The terms “laptop” and “laptops” however, are much more prevalent. When this feature is enabled, MDEX Engine will respond with the few results for “lapto”, but will also suggest that “laptop”or “laptops” may be […]
