Warning

Both the activation of the determination of exact hit numbers (8) and the preview images (7) is very computationally intensive during the suggest import process. That's why a suggest import with one of these features enabled should not be started at times where many users search for products in the shop!

Info

FACT-Finder can manage different types of suggestions. These decide from which areas the suggestions are delivered during the time in which the user types the search term

Default types are:

  • productname
  • brand
  • category
  • searchTerm
