The following table describes each of the default fields:
|
Field name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Number |
The rank of the document in the results list. The document with the highest score is ranked number 1. |
|
Score |
The score assigned to each retrieved document, based on its relevance to the query. For a NULL query, no scores are assigned, so the Score column in the results list is blank. |
|
VdkVgwKey |
The document key used by the Verity engine to manage the document. If the document is accessed through the file system, the primary key is a pathname. If the document is accessed through a web server, using HTTP, the primary key is a URL. |
You can tell the rcvdk utility to display certain fields in the results list using the fields command, which is available in the expert mode. To go to the expert mode, enter x or expert at the RC prompt, then press Return.
All fields in a column are blank if the field is not defined for the collection's schema in the documents table (in style.ddd, style.sfl, or style.ufl). A field in a document's row is blank if the field was not populated by a gateway, bulk submit action, or filter.
The fields command includes the field name and length to be displayed. When used, the fields command overrides the default Score and VdkVgwKey fields for the results list.
The search engine returns fields for the results list, so if you do a search, then go to expert mode to use the fields command, you must run the search again in order to see the results list with the fields you requested. For example:
RC> expert Expert mode enabled RC> fields title 20 RC> s universal filter Search update: finished (100%). Retrieved: 18(18)/85.

You can specify multiple fields with the fields command, as shown in the following example. The field order corresponds to the order of the columns, with the first field specified appearing in the second column. The first column is reserved for the rank order.
Rerun the search before you display the results list with the fields specified.
For example:
RC> fields score 5 title 40 RC> s universal filter Search update: finished (100%). Retrieved: 18(18)/85. RC>
