Search settings Updated 7 months ago FollowNot yet followed by anyone OptimizelyConfigured Commerce offers several settings for tuning and improving search performance, which are part of the Elasticsearch implementation. Configured Commerce does not have an out-of-the-box Hawksearch connector. Work with Hawksearch and your partner at the project level to implement it. Any changes you make to the search settings require a Full Index Rebuild to apply. 1. Go to Marketing > Search > Indexing in the Admin Console. 2. Click either Rebuild All or Full Rebuild for the Search Index Product Content and Category. General settings Attribute If On, attributes (attribute values grouped ON ON/OFF Filters by attribute type) will be faceted on the left nav of the product list to be used as filters. This does not control category or price faceting. Reindexing is required for changes to this setting to take effect. Shows additional setting to Hide Facets Until Category Selected. If Yes, filters for attribute facets will not display in search results unless the user selects a category. Default value: No. Show If Yes, attribute facets will appear for NO YES/NO Attributes search results, not just category pages. on Search Search If true users will see their previous searches ON ON/OFF History when they click the search box and nothing is in it. Shows additional setting for Search History Limit. This is the number of previous searches that will display to the user when they click the search box and nothing is in it. Default value: 10. Search Non If On, non-alphanumeric characters will be OFF ON/OFF Alphanume preserved and whitespace will be used to ric split words. If Off, non-alphanumeric Characters characters will be ignored. Log If Yes, product search queries will be NO YES/NO Product included in the Application Logs. This Search should only be used by developers and will Queries result in a lot of data if enabled. Maximum The maximum total number of attribute 1000 Attribute values that displays across all attribute Facets types in the product list. By default, each attribute type displays five attribute values, which can be expanded to show the full list of attribute values. This setting does not affect that behavior. Stopword Determines what list of common words to Mode exclude from search queries. If Custom, the Custom list from Search - Stopwords in the Admin Console is used. If Default, the internal list of English Lucene stopwords is used. If None, no stop words will be used. Reindexing is required for changes to this setting to take effect. Website If On, only attribute types assigned to OFF ON/OFF Specific categories in the website will be faceted Attributes which can impact performance. If Off, then faceting will be across all valid attribute values for each product regardless of site. Reindexing is required after changing the setting. Search Name of the search provider. Elastics Elasticsearch/El Provider earch asticsearch v7 Name Search Name of the search indexer. Elastics Elasticsearch/El Indexer earch asticsearch v7 Name Autocomplete Autocomp If On, users will see the autocomplete drop-down as they type O ON/ lete in the search box. N OFF Show If Yes, category autocomplete results will show up as the user YE YES/ Categories starts typing in the search box. S NO Shows additional setting for Return categories based on search score. Sorts results for category matches based on search score. If set to No, categories return based on sort order. Default value: Yes. Shows additional setting for Category Limit. This is the maximum number of category autocomplete results that display. Maximum value: 10. Default value: 3.

If Yes, product lines will be displayed in the search autocomplete flyout. Default value: Yes. Boosting Product If On, specific products can be boosted to display higher O ON/ Boosting or lower in search results. If No, product boosting values N OFF are ignored. Enable If Yes, products that have been purchased within a defined N YES/ Boosting by lookback period are boosted in search results. Order O NO Purchase frequency (that is line item count) is analyzed and not History quantity purchased. Shows additional settings outlined below. Lookback Customer purchases within this number of months are 6 Months for used to identify products to boost based on purchase Purchase history. Increasing this value increases the time it takes to History rebuild the search index. Boosting Frequently The number of times a customer must have purchased a 3 Purchased product within the defined lookback months to consider it Threshold "Frequently Purchased" for boosting. Boost Amount The multiplier applied to search result scoring for products 3 for Frequently that have been purchased more than the frequently Purchased purchased threshold. This value is included with the Products values for matches for all indexed fields and other boosting options to determine the Elasticsearch score and search rankings. Boost Amount The multiplier applied to search result scoring for products 1. for Less purchased recently, but not enough to be considered 5 Frequently frequently purchased. This value will be included along Purchased with the values for all matches for other indexed fields and Products other boosting options to determine the Elasticsearch score and search rankings. Allow Filtering If Yes, users can filter search results or category product YE YES/ for Previously lists to only see products that they have previously S NO Purchased purchased, based on data available in the order history Products table. Default value: Yes Fuzzy search (Misspellings) Fuzzy If On, fuzzy search is enabled on the site. O ON/ Searc N OFF h Max The maximum number of character edits that can be made to a 1 1, 2 Edits search string to return a match. This can be either a character swapped for a different character or a character being added or removed. Prefix The number of initial characters that must match and will not be 2 1- Lengt fuzzified. A value below 2 will result in performance issues. 10 h Partial matching Minimum The minimum number of words that must match to return a 2 -10 - Match result. Negative numbers indicate the number of optional words. 10 Count Works in conjunction with Minimum Match Percent. Minimum The percentage of optional words in a search term that must 7 -100 Match match to return a result. Negative numbers indicate the percent 5 - Percent of optional words that can be missing. This works in conjunction 100 with Minimum Match Count. Search index Stored Defines what stored procedure is used to add BuildProductSe Procedure extra searchable data to the product search archIndex for index. Reindexing is required for changes to this Product setting to take effect. Search Index Rebuild Batch Size The number of records to send to Elasticsearch in 250 for each request during indexing. Reindexing is Indexing required for changes to this setting to take effect. You may get a failing job with a 413 error if this value is too large. Concurren The number of concurrent requests to make to 8 t Requests Elasticsearch during indexing. Reindexing is for required for changes to this setting to take effect. Indexing Enable If yes, product number and manufacturer item NO YES/ Ngram values will be be indexed using ngram indexing. NO This will index segments of the values to return relevant results for partial matches. For example, if your product numbers are formatted like ABC12345 and your customers normally search for only the numeric segments, 12345 will be indexed and a search for it will return a match for the product. Values will be indexed both with special characters included and with them stripped out. Minimum The smallest number of characters of ngram 5 Ngram segments to be indexed. This should match the Length smallest search term length your customers would search for matches on product numbers. For performance reasons and to prevent erroneous matches, the minimum value is 3. Maximum The largest number of characters of ngram 8 Ngram segments to be indexed. This should match the Length largest character length of your product numbers. For performance reasons and to prevent erroneous matches, the minimum value is 3. Enable Turn this feature on to sort product search NO YES/ Product returns by Product number to handle ties in the NO Number search term results when the relevance score is Tiebreaker identical. Enable If yes, a force merge will be performed after YES YES/ Force building indexes. This will add some build time NO Merge but provide consistent search results. Search Suggestions Enable If On, AutoCorrect and DidYouMean will be configurable on O ON/ Search the site. N OFF Suggestion s Enable If Yes, enforces the autocorrect threshold and part number YE YES/ AutoCorrec settings. S NO t AutoCorrec The minimum confidence level at which searching on a 2 0-5 t Threshold mistyped phrase will automatically search on a corrected phrase. A value of 1 means the corrected phrase must have a closer match to the product data than the original phrase. Higher numbers require an even better match to apply the correction. The value must be higher than or equal to the DidYouMean Threshold. Exclude If Yes, an exact match on a part number will prevent YE YES/ Part Elasticsearch from autocorrecting the search query. S NO Number from AutoCorrec t Enable If Yes, enforces the DidYouMean threshold setting. YE YES/ DidYouMea S NO n DidYouMea The minimum confidence level at which searching on a 1 0-5 n Threshold mistyped phrase will present a suggested phrase correction, but search on the original phrase. A value of 1 means the corrected phrase must have a closer match to the product data than the original phrase. Higher numbers require an even better match to apply the correction. This must be lower than or equal to the AutoCorrect Threshold. Max Edits The maximum number of characters that can be changed on 2 1, 2 a word to be considered as a suggestion. Max Errors The maximum number of errors that can be corrected when 0. 0 - 1, generating suggestions. If a decimal between 0 and 1 this 3 1-5 indicates a percentage of words that can be corrected. Whole numbers greater than or equal to 1 can be used to specify the exact number of words that can be corrected. Numbers higher than 2 may have a negative impact on performance. Sponsored Search Sponsored If On, specific products can be flagged as sponsored and O ON/ Search boosted to the top of search results. Sponsored flag is set for N OFF individual products in the product boosting screen. Sponsored The maximum number of sponsored products matching the 3 1-5 Search search query that will be displayed at the top of search Limit results. Maximum value of 5. The Elasticsearch search URL setting was removed and is now configured in the appSettings.config file of the project.
