Searchconfig
Configuration of important variables
search
search-shortcuts
Shortcuts of the Module
in the build_search-programm itself. $searchconfig.
$searchconfig->{modules_short}={'M'=>['DB1','DB2','DB3' ...], ...}
note that there is no relation between the shortcut and long modulename. This is not necessary. The shortcut is merely a placeholder for the shortcuts of the databases. When a search is performed the long modulenames will come automatically by the search itself.
Shortcuts of the Database
in the configurationfile for this database
$ptr->{searchconfig}->{short}='SC'
Shortcuts of the Fields
in the configurationfile for this database
$ptr->{searchconfig}->{shortfields}->{SQL_NAME}='SC'
search - overview/results
Note that only results from databases are listet that are listed in the overview_order - directive
Name of the Modules
in the build_search-programm itself. $searchconfig.
$searchconfig->{overview_order}
Name of the Databases
in the templates.insert.pl - file
$ptr->{nav}->{struct}->{STRUCT}->{substruct}->{SUBSCTRUCT}->{name}='NAME'
note that this is not the best solution, so there is an overrideoption directly in the configfile for the database xxx.conf.pl, which should be used, cause it turns out the the name in the backend and the frontend differs most times:
$ptr->{name}='NAME';
Name of the Fields
the fieldnames are specified in the configurationfiles xxx.conf.pl and are not allowed to be changed :) this names never get public in the frontend anyway and the shortcuts can be changed in the searchconfig in the same configurationfile.
longnames
longnames and field_longs are occassionally defined in the configs and the source but their meaning still remain unknown ... 
NEWS: longnames is the name of the configs that are displayed in the searchresult !!
