Context and Highlighting

This section explains how to control the size of search context and titles displayed in results, and how to enable hit highlighting so matching terms are visually marked in search results.

Configuring Size of Search Context and Title

  • In SearchBlox, you can set the size of context, title, and the number of fragments shown in search results.
  • Open <SEARCHBLOX_INSTALLATION_PATH>\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\relevance.yml and configure the size for description, context, and title as needed.
  • You can increase or decrease these values based on your requirements. After making changes, restart SearchBlox for them to take effect.
  • The snippet value must be between 20 and 1000.
