entrysuchenabled

entrysuchenabled is a configuration flag used in software systems to control whether the entry search functionality is active. The name appears to be a compound form combining “entry search” and “enabled,” and it is typically implemented as a boolean toggle in code, configuration files, or environment variables. While not a standard term in major frameworks, it is commonly encountered as an internal switch in custom applications.

Purpose and scope

The flag is designed to provide a simple mechanism to enable or disable search over entities referred to as entries, which can include records, documents, posts, products, or other data items. It supports safer rollout, maintenance, and testing by allowing administrators to turn search on or off without modifying application logic. Depending on the system, the flag may apply globally or to specific entry types, modules, or search backends.

Operation and behavior

When entrysuchenabled is true, the system typically initializes a search index or activates the query handlers, enabling users to submit search requests and receive results according to access controls. When false, search requests may be rejected, return empty results, or be redirected to an alternative view. The exact behavior depends on implementation details such as indexing strategy, caching, and permissions.

Configuration and considerations

Common placement for the flag is in configuration, environment settings, or feature-toggle frameworks. Administrators should consider index consistency, performance implications, and access control when enabling search. If the flag is changed at runtime, a repository or index rebuild may be required to reflect recent data.

Usage notes

entrysuchenabled is most useful during staged deployments, feature experiments, or maintenance windows, providing a controlled means to manage the availability of search functionality without code changes.
