URL not coming back on search

[borisschapira]

Content URL are clearly indexed, but not looked during a search. That could be problematic if URL is not exactly the slug of the article title.

For exemple, this post : http://borisschapira.com/2014/05/sud-web-2014-de-lidee-au-projet-notes is well indexed. But if you search on Algolia for "sud-web-2014-de-lidee-au-projet-notes", you'll never find it because of the "notes" wich is not in the title.

Note: I could not find an example on your demo as all the article have the same URL as their title.

Hello,

The search is only done in your attributesToIndex, and by default url is not part of it. You can define a custom list of attributesToIndex in your _config.yml file, under the algolia.settings option.

The default list of attributesToIndex is %w(title h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 unordered(text) unordered(tags)). The order of the attributesToIndex is important. Records with a match in a key at the top will be returned before records with a match in a key at the bottom. Here is how I would do it:

algolia:
  application_id: XXXX
  [...]
  settings:
    attributesToIndex:
      - title
      - h1
      - h2
      - h3
      - h4
      - h5
      - h6
      - unordered(text)
      - unordered(tags)
      - unordered(url)

This should fix your issue :)

Oh, actually, using slug instead of url might even be better. When using url a lot of pages might match when searching for html

Thanks, it works like a charm. Maybe you should add what you just explained to the plugin documentation ?

[pixelastic]

Yes, good idea. I just updated the documentation : https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-jekyll#settings

Thanks for the feedback
