Configure Content Sources

The Configure the Content Sources window enables you to configure what fields can be:

  • Indexed and what fields are to be excluded from search results
  • Used in the Title and summary section on a search results page
  • Put in the filters section

Understanding Content Field Columns

The seven content field columns control three settings.

Searchable. Allow users to find this field in search.

Title. Use this field as the title of an item in search results.
Summary. Use this field to summarize a document in search results. Check out Change Summary Preferences
Filters. Use this field as a facet. Related: Change Filter Preferences
Exclude. Remove a facet value from a content field. More information on Exclude Facet Values from Content Fields

Metadata. Use the information in this field as metadata. Metadata allows SearchUnify to analyze documents and rank them accurately.
Autocomplete. Turn on autocomplete for this field.

Configuring Content Sources

  1. Navigate to Search Clients from the menu bar.
  2. Click to start editing a search client.
  3. Open Content Sources.
  4. Select a content type for indexing.
  5. Check or uncheck the boxes against a field to change its behavior in search. Since Mamba '20, it has been possible to make a content field searchable as well as filterable.
