7.1 Full Text Search over additional added columns

Question

Hello, 
 I have a question about the new Fulltext Search. 
 We have successfully installed and configured it in 7.1. 
 It is working smooth over all objects, but we would like to have more "columns" to be searched over the objects. 
 How can we configure additional columns to be searched in objects with the full text search? 
 For example, the column: Person.City 
 If I am searching f&uuml;r New York, than it should also find all Persons from New York. 
 Thanks, Fatih

You can specify at a column if it will be used in the search index. 
 To have a column picked up by the search index, configure the property Index Weight (DialogColumn.IndexWeight) for that column in the Designer. 
 
 Content usage: 
 
 IndexWeight <= 0: Column is not being used by the search index 
 IndexWeight > 0: Column is used by the search index and the value is used a weight for the result calculation. A higher weight leads to a higher ranking in the result. 
 All of the default column, that are used by the search index, have a weight of 1 
 The weight of the PK column, for example Person.UID_Person, is used as the weight for the display of an object
