How can I generate a scoped search key that limits searching to a specific collection? There's no collection parameter in generateScopedSearchKey().

Use the parent API key to enforce collection limit.

Another issue here. The preset contains per_page: 3, but the logged result contains 10 items.

Also, there's collection: users in the preset, but I can still search on any collection if I try.

By the documentation, it seems I should be able to limit the collection in the preset.

Does the parent API key of the scoped API key restrict to users collection?

No, but if the restriction comes from the parent API key, why does the documentation show the parameter collection passed in the preset creation request? Does it serve a different purpose?

Preset is just a way for you to store and refer to search params without needing to send them for every search request. If you also pass an explicit collection param in the request, that takes precedence over the preset config.

Got it, but what about the per_page? The preset sets it to 3 and I'm not passing another value explicitly. Why is it being set to the default 10 anyway?

I'm just trying to reproduce this but I'm not able to. Can you post a full snippet? For e..g. here's what I tried: https://gist.github.com/kishorenc/126ae6d3753f3c4441df52b82462ebd4

Maybe it's an issue in the JS SDK, I'll write a repro

No, wait, the preset works when I pass it directly to the search. What doesn't work is the embedded preset in the scoped key.

You can see in the attached screenshot here that I'm embedding the preset in the scoped key and then I just use the key, without explicitly passing the preset to the search function.
