Add search

You sometimes want visitors to be able to find the product or article they want on your site. Search is not a part you bolt on afterward. It starts when you build the data structure, by deciding which fields can be searched and in what way. Tell the agent what you want people to search by, and it sets up the fields to match.

Tell your AI like this

Connect this book search to WEEGLOO. Let people search by title, and also by a word inside the plot summary.

What the AI then does

It chooses the field type to match how you want to search, and connects the search box to it.

• Clear-cut values like a title are set up to be found by an exact match or by the first few characters.
• Long text like a plot summary gets full-text search turned on, so the book can be found by a word inside the text.
• Advanced Search, which applies several conditions at once, is also available.

Search works most smoothly when you decide it together with the data structure. Adding search to a structure you already built is covered in Content modeling.

Check that it worked

If you type part of a title into the search box and only that book shows, and you can also find it by a word inside the plot summary, then it is done.

• Content modeling: covers how the way each field type is searched differs.
• API reference: covers technical specifications such as the request format for applying search and filter conditions.
