Whether to support phrase matching and excluding words from search queries. Use the advancedSyntaxFeatures parameter to control which feature is supported.
Advanced search syntax features you want to support. - exactPhrase. Phrases in quotes must match exactly. For example, sparkly blue \"iPhone case\" only returns records with the exact string "iPhone case". - excludeWords. Query words prefixed with a - must not occur in a record. For example, search -engine matches records that contain "search" but not "engine". This setting only has an effect if advancedSyntax is true.
Whether to allow typos on numbers in the search query. Turn off this setting to reduce the number of irrelevant matches when searching in large sets of similar numbers.
Determine which plurals and synonyms should be considered an exact matches. By default, Algolia treats singular and plural forms of a word, and single-word synonyms, as exact matches when searching. For example: - "swimsuit" and "swimsuits" are treated the same - "swimsuit" and "swimwear" are treated the same (if they are synonyms). - ignorePlurals. Plurals and similar declensions added by the ignorePlurals setting are considered exact matches. - singleWordSynonym. Single-word synonyms, such as "NY" = "NYC", are considered exact matches. - multiWordsSynonym. Multi-word synonyms, such as "NY" = "New York", are considered exact matches.
Whether the best matching attribute should be determined by minimum proximity. This setting only affects ranking if the Attribute ranking criterion comes before Proximity in the ranking setting. If true, the best matching attribute is selected based on the minimum proximity of multiple matches. Otherwise, the best matching attribute is determined by the order in the searchableAttributes setting.
Attributes to highlight. By default, all searchable attributes are highlighted. Use * to highlight all attributes or use an empty array [] to turn off highlighting. Attribute names are case-sensitive. With highlighting, strings that match the search query are surrounded by HTML tags defined by highlightPreTag and highlightPostTag. You can use this to visually highlight matching parts of a search query in your UI. For more information, see Highlighting and snippeting.
Attributes to include in the API response. To reduce the size of your response, you can retrieve only some of the attributes. Attribute names are case-sensitive. - * retrieves all attributes, except attributes included in the customRanking and unretrievableAttributes settings. - To retrieve all attributes except a specific one, prefix the attribute with a dash and combine it with the *: [\"*\", \"-ATTRIBUTE\"]. - The objectID attribute is always included.
Attributes for which to enable snippets. Attribute names are case-sensitive. Snippets provide additional context to matched words. If you enable snippets, they include 10 words, including the matched word. The matched word will also be wrapped by HTML tags for highlighting. You can adjust the number of words with the following notation: ATTRIBUTE:NUMBER, where NUMBER is the number of words to be extracted.
Whether to split compound words in the query into their building blocks. For more information, see Word segmentation. Word segmentation is supported for these languages: German, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, and Norwegian. Decompounding doesn't work for words with non-spacing mark Unicode characters. For example, Gartenstühle won't be decompounded if the ü consists of u (U+0075) and ◌̈ (U+0308).
Searchable attributes for which you want to turn off the Exact ranking criterion. Attribute names are case-sensitive. This can be useful for attributes with long values, where the likelihood of an exact match is high, such as product descriptions. Turning off the Exact ranking criterion for these attributes favors exact matching on other attributes. This reduces the impact of individual attributes with a lot of content on ranking.
Attributes for which you want to turn off typo tolerance. Attribute names are case-sensitive. Returning only exact matches can help when: - Searching in hyphenated attributes. - Reducing the number of matches when you have too many. This can happen with attributes that are long blocks of text, such as product descriptions. Consider alternatives such as disableTypoToleranceOnWords or adding synonyms if your attributes have intentional unusual spellings that might look like typos.
Whether this search will use Dynamic Re-Ranking. This setting only has an effect if you activated Dynamic Re-Ranking for this index in the Algolia dashboard.
Minimum proximity score for two matching words. This adjusts the Proximity ranking criterion by equally scoring matches that are farther apart. For example, if minProximity is 2, neighboring matches and matches with one word between them would have the same score.
Languages for language-specific query processing steps such as plurals, stop-word removal, and word-detection dictionaries. This setting sets a default list of languages used by the removeStopWords and ignorePlurals settings. This setting also sets a dictionary for word detection in the logogram-based CJK languages. To support this, you must place the CJK language first. You should always specify a query language. If you don't specify an indexing language, the search engine uses all supported languages, or the languages you specified with the ignorePlurals or removeStopWords parameters. This can lead to unexpected search results. For more information, see Language-specific configuration.
Determines the order in which Algolia returns your results. By default, each entry corresponds to a ranking criteria. The tie-breaking algorithm sequentially applies each criterion in the order they're specified. If you configure a replica index for sorting by an attribute, you put the sorting attribute at the top of the list. Modifiers - asc(\"ATTRIBUTE\"). Sort the index by the values of an attribute, in ascending order. - desc(\"ATTRIBUTE\"). Sort the index by the values of an attribute, in descending order. Before you modify the default setting, you should test your changes in the dashboard, and by A/B testing.
Relevancy threshold below which less relevant results aren't included in the results. You can only set relevancyStrictness on virtual replica indices. Use this setting to strike a balance between the relevance and number of returned results.
Whether to replace a highlighted word with the matched synonym. By default, the original words are highlighted even if a synonym matches. For example, with home as a synonym for house and a search for home, records matching either "home" or "house" are included in the search results, and either "home" or "house" are highlighted. With replaceSynonymsInHighlight set to true, a search for home still matches the same records, but all occurrences of "house" are replaced by "home" in the highlighted response.
Properties to include in the API response of search and browse requests. By default, all response properties are included. To reduce the response size, you can select, which attributes should be included. You can't exclude these properties: message, warning, cursor, serverUsed, indexUsed, abTestVariantID, parsedQuery, or any property triggered by the getRankingInfo parameter. Don't exclude properties that you might need in your search UI.
Whether to restrict highlighting and snippeting to items that at least partially matched the search query. By default, all items are highlighted and snippeted.
Order in which to retrieve facet values. - count. Facet values are retrieved by decreasing count. The count is the number of matching records containing this facet value. - alpha. Retrieve facet values alphabetically. This setting doesn't influence how facet values are displayed in your UI (see renderingContent). For more information, see facet value display.
