ADF Query Search

Question

What kind of query search is implemented in ADF Query components(ADF Query, ADF Query with Table) ?

Answer 1

The query component provides the user the ability to perform a query based on a saved search or personalize saved searches. The component displays a search panel with various elements, each of which help the user to accomplish various tasks.
Elements rendered by the query component
Search Panel: the panel that encloses all elements rendered by the query component
Search Header: Spans the entire width of the search panel and used to display a disclosure icon, the label, search mode (toggle button) and saved search (choice list of saved searches). The help (deprecated), info and toolbar facets' content is also displayed in the header.
Match Type: A radio button group that appears below the search header, it defines whether the search criteria should be treated as an AND search or an OR search. For details on the conjunction operators refer to the QueryDescriptor and ConjunctionCriterion classes.
Criteria region: A form layout that appears below the Match type, it contains search fields that define the search parameters. For details on search fields refer to the QueryDescriptor model.
Criterion: A criterion represents a single search field, that comprises of an operator and one or more value fields. For value fields that render LOV components, the autoComplete feature is not enabled unless either of the methods, AttributeCriterion.hasDependentCriterion() or ListOfValuesModel.isAutoCompleteEnabled() return true. This is done to allow the end-user to enter partial values with wild-cards and tab around the search panel without causing the LOV dialog to be launched (everytime they tab-out of the LOV value field).
Action buttons: The search panel has four action buttons: Search, Reset, Save, and Add Fields. The action buttons appear below the criteria region. They are end-aligned within the search header.
NOTE: The Add Fields feature is only available in the Advanced mode.
