Indexed fields in schemas

Setting up which fields in your schema you would like the search engine to index.

Top level fields

Enter field name, type and weight.

Setting

Meaning

Field name

The field to index, as it is named in the document's JSON. Use a dot to reach fields inside arrays: Items.Title indexes Title in every item of Items.

Type and weight

Stored with the schema, but not used by the search index today: all indexed text goes into one word index.

Nested fields

Enter first the element groups above and separate each level with a dot (.).

For multiple levels specify the group name again for the n levels to index.

What is always indexed

Besides the fields you list, Docly always indexes the document name, the schema name, the names of the folders above it, tags and published URLs. Documents in encrypted folders never have their field values indexed.
