Shortening Excerpt Length #299

Closed ccagle8 closed 1 year ago

ccagle8 commented 1 year ago

Is there any way to shorten the excerpt length? The excerpt that comes back from Algolia is quite long and breaking the theme's flow with is very large excerpt length. I understand they are probably reasons for it being that long (to show as many highlighted keywords as possible), but it would be nice to have the option to shorten it.

Just found the option inside Algolia's dashboard. I'll close this issue, but hopefully this issue will help someone else find it.

Algolia Dashboard -> [your application] -> [index] -> Snippeting

Each index will need to be adjusted.

Before we fully close this out, I want to point out that you can customize this setting via code, and the "push settings" buttons provided by the UI, with the documentation found at the following page https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wp-search-with-algolia/wiki/Index-Settings

Feel free to reach out if you need help finding potentially the proper action hook, particularly if trying to adjust the searchable posts index, since I don't think the wiki page highlights that one very well at all, at the time of this comment.
