To configure search parameters on Drupal 8, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Drupal 8 site as an administrator.
1. Click on the “Configuration” tab in the top menu, and then click on “Search and metadata” under the “Search and metadata” section.
1. In the “Search settings” tab, you can configure various parameters for your site’s search functionality. These include:
- Search pages: This allows you to control which pages are included in search results. By default, all content types are selected, but you can limit your search to specific content types or disable certain content types from search altogether.
- Excluded words: This lets you define a list of words that should be excluded from search results. For example, you might want to exclude the word “password” to prevent sensitive information from appearing in search results.
- Minimum word length: This allows you to specify the minimum number of characters required to perform a search. The default value is 3.
- Similarity: This lets you choose how search results should be ranked. You can choose between “Best match” (which ranks results based on keyword relevance), “Most recent” (which ranks results based on their publication date), and “Most viewed” (which ranks results based on their view count).
1. Once you’ve configured your search parameters, click on the “Save configuration” button to apply your settings.
That’s it! Your Drupal 8 site’s search functionality is now configured according to your preferences.
