Results Per PageSpecifies the number of results per page. By default, the value is 10. It can be increased up to 500
AutoComplete FieldSpecifies the type of data source for AutoSuggest.
By default, it is Querylogs which is represented by Query. The other two options are Title and Content where the suggestions will be taken from the corresponding fields.
Hit Highlighting Value is set to Yes or No based on whether the search terms need to be highlighted or not.

AutoComplete Field

In 9.2.x, we can select the data source for AutoSuggest or AutoComplete for AutoSuggest servlet and the faceted search plugin.
The three different data sources for AutoSuggest are

  • Title - The suggestions would be from the title field values
  • Content - The suggestions would be from the content indexed
  • Query - The suggestions would be from query logs
    By default, the data source would be Query, where the suggestions would come up from query logs. If the user would like to change the source of AutoSuggest to Title or Content, the user can select the corresponding value for the AutoComplete field.

To upload the plugin, upload the zip file of the plugin.

  • Next, access the plugin using the link:
    https://localhost:8443/searchblox/angular/index.html
  • Make sure that in the zip file the plugin folder has been renamed to angular (or any name you prefer).
  • You can find the folder in <SEARCHBLOX_INSTALLATION_PATH>/webapps/searchblox
  • If you need to replace the existing plugin folder, name the file plugin.zip.
  • Also make sure that the archive file has the contents of the plugin folder only (that is, index.html is available in that folder itself), otherwise your URL may vary based on the folder names used.
