Search Tuning: Six Per-Index Relevancy Controls With No Reindexing Required
Search Tuning puts six relevancy controls in Index Settings. Each index is tuned on its own, and changes take effect on the next search.
01 The six controls
| Control | What it governs |
|---|---|
field weights | How much a match in each field counts towards the score |
freshness boost | How far recency lifts a document |
minimum match mode | How much of a multi-word query a document must satisfy |
semantic vs keyword balance | The weighting between the vector and the keyword leg |
result quality threshold | How weak a match may be and still be returned |
results per page | How many results a page shows |
02 Independent, and immediate
Every index is tuned independently, so a documentation index and a product catalogue on the same account do not have to share a setting. Changes save automatically and apply on the next search — no reindexing, and no restart.
