Configure a Searchable Object for Inventory Search

Create a searchable object configuration to define the object that's the basis of the search experience, how the object's data is updated, and how the object's data is used in the search experience. You can also define how the object's data is aggregated, parsed, and shown in the search criteria and results. You can use a searchable object configuration in multiple search criteria configurations. For your inventory search experience, use the Product Inventory Searchable Field as the searchable object and use an activated copy of the Update Product Inventory Searchable Field Values data processing engine (DPE) definition template to update the object's data.
