5254: Granular Filterable attribute settings r=ManyTheFish a=ManyTheFish # Related **Issue:** https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/5163 **PRD:** https://meilisearch.notion.site/API-usage-Settings-to-opt-out-indexing-features-filterableAttributes-1764b06b651f80aba8bdf359b2df3ca8 # Summary Change the `filterableAttributes` settings to let the user choose which facet feature he wants to activate or not. Deactivating a feature will avoid some database computation in the indexing process and save time and disk size. # Example `PATCH /indexes/:index_uid/settings` ```json { "filterableAttributes": [ { "patterns": [ "cattos", "doggos.age" ], "features": { "facetSearch": false, "filter": { "equality": true, "comparison": false } } } ] } ``` # Impact on the codebase - Settings API: - `/settings` - `/settings/filterable-attributes` - OpenAPI - may impact the LocalizedAttributesRules due to the AttributePatterns factorization - Database: - Filterable attributes format changed - Faceted field_ids are no more stored in the database - FieldIdsMap has no more unexisting fields - Search: - Search using filters - Facet search - `Attributes` ranking rule - Distinct attribute - Facet distribution - Settings reindexing: - searchable - facet - vector - geo - Document indexing: - searchable - facet - vector - geo - Dump import # Note for the reviewers The changes are huge and have been split in different commits with a dedicated explanation, I suggest reviewing the commit 1by1 Co-authored-by: ManyTheFish <many@meilisearch.com>
