I am trying to apply enterprise search for our e-commerce webapp.
Actually we have some fields which doesn't need to be indexed / searched, but only stored. The schema documentation does only allow 4 types for a field:
- text
- number
- date
- geolocation
Before I try to come around indexing by falsely setting fields to geolocation or date, I wanted to ask if there are any other options to only store, but not index data into App Search?
Documents indexed in AppSearch are visible in a dedicated indice in Elasticsearch. As such, you can modify its mapping and reindex it or update all docs by query. The only think I cannot tell you is the side effects incurred by such changes at appsearch level.
