 VuFind® has a lot of optional features which are not immediately visible. This section of the page provides quick steps for turning on optional features so that you can test and evaluate them. This is intended to be used in combination with VuFind®'s standard test environment, which you can learn how to set up by watching the [[videos:testing_1|Setting Up a Test Environment video]] or reading the [[development:testing:unit_tests|unit testing]] page.
+==== Combined Search ====
+If you want to test [[configuration:combining_search_types#multi-column_search|multi-column search]], you will need to customize combined.ini, since the default configuration includes examples that are unlikely to work in most environments without additional configuration. For testing purposes, you can override the third-party service examples with the Search2 backend to simulate results. Just create a local copy of combined.ini and change the [Summon] and [EDS] section headers to [Search2:Summon] and [Search2:EDS] respectively. When you perform a search, all of the columns will show results from the Solr index, and there is likely to be overlap between the columns, but for the purpose of testing multi-column functionality, this should not matter too much.
