+#### Default join type
+
+[`SearchConfiguration`][search-configuration-url] supports matching specifying default join type for conditions and projections. If none is specified then inner join is used.
+This can be also customized for individual associations by specifying a `SearchJoin` with `joinType`, specified `joinType` will then be used when building projections and conditions.
