What are search Keys in a record? How is it different from alternate search keys?

The property search keys of a record comes into picture when you are in the search page of a component or in a prompt dialogue page where you uses the record.

When you load a component, you can see some fields coming up to search for a value. These fields are the fields which are marked as the search keys for your search record. If you do not have any search key for your component, then you will be directly taken into the component.

Your alternate search keys are non mandatory search keys for your component. Think of using it if you want your user to search the component based on some additional fields. In your component properties, you can mention whether you want to display the alternative search keys by default. Normally the alternative search keys are displayed only if the end user clicks on advanced search option.
