Indexed fields configured in Hyper Search

How to choose your indexed fields​

We have set some sensible defaults for indexed fields however you may want to choose some additional fields to index.

Consider:

  • Any fields customers need to search.
  • Any fields used to filter or sort search results.
  • Any fields used by the product results template.
info

Choose Hidden for sensitive fields that should not be returned to the storefront, such as total_sold. Hidden fields can still be used for matching or sorting.

Add a field to be indexed​

  1. Open the indexed fields settings and select Add.
  2. Search or browse the available standard and custom product fields.
  3. Select the field and confirm its data type, such as string for text or int for a whole number.
  4. Save the field.
info

It may take a few moments after installation for Hyper Search to find all custom fields used on your products. Following this, Hyper Search will find new custom fields twice a day.
