Record size chucking

Hi, thank you for the patience.

Not sure there’s necessarily anything we can do specifically in this case from the plugin’s code point of view. However, we do have filters that can be used to alter the attributes being indexed. So my question would primarily be which attributes and the like are you actively using with your search experience, and which are just happening to also be included.

As a more specific example, are you actively using all of the taxonomies that are getting indexed? or could we filter some out from consideration and then re-index?

Thanks for getting back to me Michael. Seems like I could get rid of half of the data pushed to Algolia with each post. So the plugin indexes the ‘taxonomies’ which is what I need, in the Algolia dashboard I see there is another attribute ‘taxonomies_hierarchical’ which doubles up the size and the same taxonomies show up.

would I be able to get rid of ‘taxonomies_hierarchical’? If yes, could you please provide some help on how to do it?

Thanks

Yes.

Out of box, we have that set up for potential usage in the Instantsearch template, and the available “hierarchical widget” that Algolia provides. For example:

/* Categories refinement widget */		instantsearch.widgets.hierarchicalMenu({
	container: '#facet-categories',
	separator: ' > ',
	sortBy: ['count'],
	attributes: ['taxonomies_hierarchical.category.lvl0', 'taxonomies_hierarchical.category.lvl1', 'taxonomies_hierarchical.category.lvl2'],
}),

If you’re not needing any for this widget type, then let’s get them removed.

For example:

function pluginize_algolia_remove_hierarchical_taxonomies( $shared_attributes, $post ) {

	unset( $shared_attributes['taxonomies_hierarchical'] );

	return $shared_attributes;
}
add_filter( 'algolia_post_shared_attributes', 'pluginize_algolia_remove_hierarchical_taxonomies', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'algolia_searchable_post_shared_attributes', 'pluginize_algolia_remove_hierarchical_taxonomies', 10, 2 );

This would go in your active theme’s functions.php or perhaps a quick custom plugin if you prefer.
