Searchability configuration
The manage searchability fields feature allows for adding, removal, and modification of the searchability of fields directly from the Customer Dashboard. 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 the site utilizes the Constructor driven Search and Autosuggest products.
A field can be assigned one of two searchability types, fuzzy or exact.
- 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 searchability allows for more leniency. 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.
Adding a new searchability
- Click the ADD NEW button
- 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. Only fields provided in the catalog feed to Constructor will be available in the list.
- Next you will need to configure the searchability for this field by selecting either fuzzy or exact and then SAVE CHANGES.
Modifying a searchability
- Select the name of the field you wish to modify from the list of CUSTOM FIELDS
- Modify the searchability assigned to the field and then SAVE CHANGES.
Deleting a searchability
- Select the name of the field you wish to modify from the list of CUSTOM FIELDS
- Click Delete configuration and then confirm if you desire to delete the searchability.
