Set the number of hits per page.

In most cases, page/hitsPerPage is the recommended method for pagination. Check our full discussion on pagination approaches.

Set the maximum number of hits accessible via pagination.

Minimum number of characters a word in the query string must contain to accept matches with 1 typo.

Minimum number of characters a word in the query string must contain to accept matches with 2 typos.

Changing this setting to a lower number can negatively affect relevance with short queries, because more records will be considered a match with two typos.

Enables the advanced query syntax.

A list of words that should be considered optional when found in the query.

Controls how the exact ranking criterion is computed when the query contains only one word.

List of alternatives that should be considered an exact match by the exact ranking criterion.

Allows you to specify which advanced syntax features are active when ‘advancedSyntax’ is enabled.

List of numeric attributes that can be used as numerical filters.

Enables compression of large integer arrays.

Whether to highlight and snippet the original word that matches the synonym or the synonym itself.

Precision of the proximity ranking criterion.

Choose which fields to return in the API response. This parameters applies to search and browse queries.
