The Indexes section of Constructor dashboard is used to view and manage various aspects of your indexes and catalog. This section will display a tile for each individual index that is available for your account. An individual index can be used for separate purposes such as a development index, additional languages for different regions.

For each index you have the ability view the index key, manually add new items to the Product sections or add new terms to the Search Suggestions results. On the left hand side of the tile, click additional configurations for:

• Manage searchability & displayability
• Manage facets
• Set images base URL
• Catalog uploads

Manage searchability & displayability

When a field is made displayable, the field will be returned in API responses for Search, Browse, Collections, and Recommendations requests. This can easily be toggled on and off in the Displayability section of each field.

When a field is made searchable, the values of that field passed in the catalog feed become available to query against when a user on your site utilizes the Constructor Product Discovery Platform.

A field can be assigned one of two searchability types:

Exact Searchable

Exact searchability requires the user to enter an exact match for the associated item to be returned.

For example, a search for the id “28193” would not return a product if the exact id “28193” was not contained in a searchable field (for instance, it would not return id “28192”).

Fuzzy Searchable

Fuzzy searchability allows for more leniency when appropriate. Using the example search term “hoodie”, if a user searches for “hoody” or “hoodied” or “hoodies” the product would be included in the result set given the interpretation of the search term by the underlying Artificial Intelligence with which our system is built upon.

How to Add Searchability

1. Click the ADD NEW button towards the top right hand corner of the page.
2. Start typing the name of the field you wish to add a searchability for and select the field when you see it in the list and click ADD. If you don’t know the field name, simply scroll through the list and select the field you are looking for.

Note: only fields provided in the catalog feed to Constructor will be available in the list.

3. Next you will need to configure the searchability for this field by selecting either Fuzzy searchable or Exact searchable and then click the SAVE CHANGES button towards the top right hand corner of the page.

How to Modify Searchability

1. Select the name of the field you wish to modify from the list of CUSTOM FIELDS.
2. Modify the searchability assigned to the field and then click the SAVE CHANGES button towards the top right hand corner of the page.

How to Delete Searchability

1. Select the name of the field you wish to modify from the list of CUSTOM FIELDS.
2. Click Delete configuration and then confirm if you desire to delete the searchability.

Set images base URL

If your images in the dashboard are blank, you might want to ask a developer if this field should be configured.
