| I want to...                                           | Where to configure | Setting                                      |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| Hide a field from the storefront but use it internally | Field Settings     | Sensitive Data (toggle on)                   |
| Make a field available as a facet                      | Field Settings     | Filterable & Merchandisable                  |
| Treat a field as exact match in search                 | Field Settings     | Searchable → Match Type: Exact               |
| Tolerate typos in search                               | Field Settings     | Searchable → Match Type: Fuzzy               |
| Make typing prefix match (e.g. "categ" → category)     | Field Settings     | Allow Prefix Search                          |
| Use a field for product-type tagging in queries        | Field Settings     | NLP → Match Type, Resulting Effect           |
| Boost matching products rather than filter             | Field Settings     | NLP → Resulting Effect: Boost Results        |
| Suppress specific values from NLP tagging              | Field Settings     | NLP → Exclude from NLP/NER matching          |
| Treat a comma-separated field as an array              | Field Settings     | Multi-Value (with delimiter)                 |
| Enable Gen AI semantic search                          | Catalog Settings   | Allow Vector for Gen AI → Text Vector        |
| Enable visual-similarity matching                      | Catalog Settings   | Allow Vector for Gen AI → Image Vector       |
| Set the product-type signal across the catalog         | Catalog Settings   | Precision & Personalization Mode             |
| Hide out-of-stock products from storefront             | Catalog Settings   | Out-of-Stock Products → Exclude              |
| Group similar colors (red → burgundy, scarlet)         | Catalog Settings   | Color Family tab                             |
| Make a variant attribute available for slicing         | Catalog Settings   | Variant Slicing Attributes                   |
| Switch to semantic search engine                       | Algorithm          | Relevance → Search Engine: Gen AI or Hybrid  |
| Pick the Gen AI embedding model                        | Algorithm          | Relevance → Gen AI Engine Configuration      |
| Default which variant leads the tile                   | Algorithm          | Relevance → Variant Slicing + Hero Variant   |
| Boost products by total sold across channels           | Algorithm          | Performance → Custom Performance Signal      |
| Use last-year same-week data for seasonal ranking      | Algorithm          | Performance → Time Decay: Previous Year      |
| Personalize across categories (e.g. brand)             | Algorithm          | Personalization → Global Affinities          |
| Boost newly-added products                             | Algorithm          | Newness → Newness Field + Period + Weightage |
| Use pure relevance with no commercial signals          | Algorithm          | Ranking → Mode: Relevance First              |
