Hi Jin,
To choose generic-searchbackend-config.xml Base on your XCM scenario is difficult to implement. But there is a easy way you can select which value should come in drop down box of Document Type base on your scenario.
Do as follow.
Import UsersessionData and ConfigContainer in genericsearch.jsp file.
<%@ page import="com.sap.isa.core.xcm.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.sap.isa.core.UserSessionData" %>
Now get current scenario name by adding Java Code.
UserSessionData userData = UserSessionData.getUserSessionData(request.getSession());
ConfigContainer configcontainer = (ConfigContainer)(userData.getCurrentConfigContainer());
String sName = configcontainer.getScenarioName();
Now suppose in generic-searchbackend-config.xml file your Search option SearchCriteria_B2B_Sales has below allowed value in Drop Down box.
<allowedValue value="ORDER"           description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val2" resultlistName="order_resultlist_B2B" default="true"/>
<!-- allowedValue value="BACKORDER"       description="gs.attr.doc.type.backorder" resultlistName="order_resultlist_B2B" maxHitsToSelect="0"/ -->
<allowedValue value="QUOTATION"       description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val1" resultlistName="quot_resultlist_B2B"/> 
<allowedValue value="ORDERTMP"        description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val3" resultlistName="ordertmp_resultlist_B2B"/>
<allowedValue value="CONTRACT"        description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val4" resultlistName="contract_resultlist_B2B"/>
<allowedValue value="INVOICE"         description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val5"  />
<allowedValue value="CREDITMEMO"      description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val6" /> 
<allowedValue value="DOWNPAYMENT"     description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val7" />
<allowedValue value="AUCTION"         description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val9" maxHitsToSelect="0"/>
</property>
Now suppose you have 2 XCM scenario CUSTOMER and SALES.
For CUSTOMER xcm scenario you want to display only ORDER and INVOICE and for SALES xcm scenario you want to display INVOICE then add below line to your code in genericsearch.jsp
Find below line under <form name="GENERICSEARCH" id="gensearch" action="dummy" >  You can find these line between line#495 to line#505
<td class="label"><%= ui.writeSearchElementLabel("left", screlm)%></td>
<td class="input"><%= ui.writeSearchElementLabel("top", screlm)%>
