Banner field settings apply to the search box in the portal's banner (including community and Directory search), advanced search, object selection search, or any other portal search interfaces.
You can improve the search results of queries issued in the portal by selecting the fields (such as document or file name, description, or the entire text of the document) to search and setting the relative weights of these fields. Overweighting a search field increases its relevancy ranking; underweighting it decreases it. You can also add custom search fields (such as keyword, department, or author) to further refine the search results.
