separatorsToIndex

About this parameter

Control which separators are indexed.

Separators are all non-alphanumeric characters except space.

Usage notes:

• By default, separators are not indexed.

• Here is a non-exhaustive list of separators frequently used by our customers:
  !#()[]{}*+-_一,:;<>?@/\^|%&~£¥$§€`"'‘’“”†‡
• The search API treats separator characters as separate words. If you search “Google+” for example, the search API considers “Google” and “+” as two separate words, and counts as a match on two words in getRankingInfo.

Examples

Set list separators to index

To be able to search for “Google+” or “C#”, we define + and # as separatorsToIndex.
