Displaying Preview of Variations in Typesense Results
TLDR John asks how to display previews of product variations with deduplication. Jason recommends using group_by and group_limit parameters.

04:02 PMNew to typesense, so my apologies if my question seems elementary.
Our ecomm store has quite a few products that have variations (sizes, colors, etc.). When using deduplication to reduce the search result to only display 1 of the variations.
Is it possible to efficiently display some type of preview of the variations of that item that are not shown (example – image thumbnail, or icon depicting the color)? If so, how?
Thank you!

05:13 PMgroup_by search parameter to return say X items per group (using the group_limit parameter). Then in the UI, you can display the first item in the group to the user with product title, etc and then use just the image url attribute from the other records within the group, to render a small thumbnail for eachJohn
