👋 Ed, Typesense does not support searching on of nested fields: you have to "flatten" the dict into top-level fields before indexing.

Please see this for more details: https://typesense.org/docs/0.22.1/api/collections.html#indexing-nested-fields

can i set the content data to index:false, I don't need to search there, usually that's just for displaying the job

02/02/2022, 9:23 AM

the data in

data

is used for filtering/searching

Kishore Nallan

02/02/2022, 9:23 AM

Yeah, that's totally fine. You don't even need to specify the fields in the schema.

02/02/2022, 9:24 AM

but i have to flatten it right?

Kishore Nallan

02/02/2022, 9:24 AM

If you don't specify a field in the schema, that field is just stored and returned verbatim.

Kishore Nallan

02/02/2022, 9:24 AM

No need to flatten fields that are just part of the document for display. Need to flatten only if you want to search on them.

02/02/2022, 9:24 AM

awesome

02/02/2022, 9:25 AM

I use the content just to display the job on the job page, the data is what I can search/filter

Kishore Nallan

Then

data

subfields have to be flattened out, like

data.title

data.businessUnit

etc. The

content

key can just exist as it is in nested format.
