Properties

BoostSpec

public SearchRequest.Types.BoostSpec BoostSpec { get; set; }

Boost specification to boost certain products. See more details at this user guide.

Notice that if both [ServingConfig.boost_control_ids][google.cloud.retail.v2.ServingConfig.boost_control_ids] and [SearchRequest.boost_spec][google.cloud.retail.v2.SearchRequest.boost_spec] are set, the boost conditions from both places are evaluated. If a search request matches multiple boost conditions, the final boost score is equal to the sum of the boost scores from all matched boost conditions.

Property Value
Type	Description
`SearchRequestTypesBoostSpec`

Branch

public string Branch { get; set; }

The branch resource name, such as projects/*/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog/branches/0.

CanonicalFilter

public string CanonicalFilter { get; set; }

The default filter that is applied when a user performs a search without checking any filters on the search page.

The filter applied to every search request when quality improvement such as query expansion is needed. For example, if a query does not have enough results, an expanded query with [SearchRequest.canonical_filter][google.cloud.retail.v2.SearchRequest.canonical_filter] will be returned as a supplement of the original query. This field is strongly recommended to achieve high search quality.

See [SearchRequest.filter][google.cloud.retail.v2.SearchRequest.filter] for more details about filter syntax.
