Description Xixi 2010-01-26 00:08:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
Customer reported searching for systems via runningKernel or vender ID returned ambiguous/wrong results.  It seems that the default threshold for system score - search.system_score_threshold - is to low for them.  Please add this configuration option to Satellite Reference Guide so user is aware of this option and can try tuning it if necessary.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3.0

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at RHN Satellite Documentation.
2. Look for configuration options for rhn-search, e.g., the following threashold settings in /etc/rhn/search/rhn_search.conf :
search.score_threshold=.10
search.system_score_threshold=0.3
search.errata_score_threshold=.20
search.errata.advisory_score_threshold=.30

Actual results:
Nothing

Expected results:
Include a blurb on the threashold options at least so user is aware they can tune the scoring threasholds if needed.
