If the metadata field requires metadata query values to be handled by the new parser, it is necessary to override the default behavior by editing the QueryParsers.xml file located in <installLocation>\OmniQ\config. If you assume the querying format is the same as it is for indexing, then the query parser would have the following entry:
<MetadataField name="userid" parser="intUserId_8" />
Because Sybase Search is a distributed system, it is important
that the metadata changes are performed for the container instance
that loads the Query Manager.
