- Only one search profile can be created for one catalog, therefore the search profile will work for all the stores where the search profile’s catalog is associated.
Note: The provision to mark the default search profile is removed because of this reason. - It is mandatory to publish the changes to test the search from the admin application and to view the changes on the web store.
- When no search profile is created for a catalog the system-defined search profile will work for that catalog on the web store.
- Search Profiles defined in the admin application will only work for store-based catalogs.
- After taking an upgrade all the existing search profiles will be deleted therefore admin users will have to manually create and configure the required search profiles.
- Limitation: There is no way to configure search profiles for Account and User Profile based catalogs from the admin application therefore only system-defined search profile work for Account and User Profile based catalogs.
