Now that the new setting entry is created, you can adjust it further by clicking Edit at the end of the row.

Follow the below steps to fully configure a new configuration, or update just a particular field if you only want to edit an existing configuration.

• The settings in the Site Search tab manage the Site Search API results:
  1. Enable Show Product Slicing if you want product variants to be displayed separately in the API results. For example, if enabled then a red shirt and a blue shirt would be listed as separate products. If disabled, then the shirt will be listed as one product with color options for red and blue. See the Slicing documentation for more information about this feature.
  2. Set the MinMatch to determine how much of the search query needs to match a product. Kibo recommends three options: 100%, 75%, and 50%.
  3. Set the Phrase Slop to determine how many other words are permitted between a search query. Kibo recommends a value of 1 or 2.
  4. Enable Auto Correct if you want to automatically switch to an auto-corrected search term if there are no results for MinMatch.
  5. Use Did You Mean to offer corrections for misspellings.
  6. Add or edit desired Field Weights.
  7. Create Boost and Bury conditions based on product attributes for all Site Search results. This can help boost popular products or bury low margin products.
