General Settings:

• Search Engine Type: Client-side search engine is ideal for smaller datasets and provides faster client-side response without AJAX or server requests.Server-side search is recommended for larger datasets and integrates with WordPress or indexing solutions for better performance.
• Server Search: WordPress search is slower but can work well for smaller stores or simple search requirements. Indexing offers faster results, especially useful for large stores with many products and advanced search queries.
• Kivo Smart Algo: Enabling Kivo Smart Algo will improve search accuracy by handling complex queries like ‘find blue t-shirts under $50.’ It intelligently matches search terms to relevant results.
• Synonym search: Enabling synonym search allows the system to match search queries with synonym terms. For example, searching for ‘sofa’ will return products listed as ‘couch.’
• Fuzzy search: Fuzzy search corrects minor spelling mistakes (e.g., ‘Iphone’ instead of ‘iPhone’). Choose the strictness level based on tolerance for typos.
• Search in fields: Select which fields will be used for search purpose.
• Minimum Characters: Specify the minimum number of characters required before autocomplete suggestions are shown. Typically, 2 or 3 is a good starting point.
• Debounce time: Debounce time is a delay that prevents events from being triggered too frequently. Needs to set to ideal time(in ms) to avoid triggering search engine too often
