Search

List Query Suggestions

Retrieves a list of query suggestions.

Connection

Establish a connection to your Coveo account.

Query

Enter your query.

Enable Word Completion

Select whether to attempt to complete the last word of the current basic query expression and boost the ranking score of the resulting expression so that it is returned as the first query suggestion.

Locale

Enter the locale of the current user. Must comply with IETF’s BCP 47 definition. For example: en-US.

Search Hub

Enter the search hub. The Search Hub is the first level of origin, typically the identifier of the graphical search interface from which the request originates.

Pipeline

Enter the name of the query pipeline to use. If a query does not contain the pipeline parameter, the first query pipeline whose conditions are met by the request is used (query pipelines without conditions are not evaluated).

Timezone

Select the timezone. If not specified, the default time zone of the server hosting the index is used.

Limit

Set the maximum number of suggestions Boost.space Integrator returns during one scenario execution cycle.

Perform a Simple Query

Performs a simple query.

Connection

Establish a connection to your Coveo account.

Basic Query Expression

Enter your basic query expression. You can also use the built-in query suggestion tool.

Advanced Query Expression

Enter an advanced query expression. For example: @producttype=="Accessory"

Search Hub

Enter the search hub.

Sort Criteria

Select how you want to sort the query results. This only works when combining either two or more field criteria or a single date criteria with one or more field criteria.

[Note] Note

By default, the results are sorted by relevancy. A standard set of ranking rules is applied to compute a score value for each query result item; the higher a query result item score value is, the lower its 0-based index position.

Limit

Set the maximum number of results Boost.space Integrator returns during one scenario execution cycle.

Perform a Query

Performs an advanced query.

Connection

Establish a connection to your Coveo account.

Basic Query Expression

Enter your basic query expression. You can also use the built-in query suggestion tool and refer to the Perform a Simple Query module documentation.

Enable Did You Mean

Select whether to enable the Did You Mean feature of the index.

[Note] Note

The Did You Mean feature only processes the basic query expression.

When both the DidYouMean and MLDidYouMean parameter are set to Yes, the output of both features will appear in the queryCorrections array

Partial Match

Select whether to convert a basic expression containing at least partialMatchKeywords to a partial match expression, so that any item containing at least partialMatchThreshold of those keywords will match the expression.

If you do not set this parameter to Yes, an item must contain all of the basic expression keywords to match the expression.

Enable Wildcards

Select whether to enable the wildcards feature of the index. See Using Wildcards in Queries.

Enable Query Syntax

Select whether to interpret advanced Coveo Cloud query syntax as such in the basic query expression.

Enable ML Did You Mean

Select whether to enable the Coveo ML query suggestions Did You Mean feature.

Advanced Query Expression

Enter an advanced query expression. For example: @producttype=="Accessory"

Constant Query Expression

Enter a constant query expression. For example: @documenttype==forumpost.

The constant query expression, typically populated with expressions that must apply to all queries sent from a specific search interface (e.g., from a specific tab). Once evaluated, the result sets of those expressions are kept in a special cache.

[Tip] Tip

Avoid including dynamic content in the constant query expression. Otherwise you risk filling up the cache with useless data, which can have a negative impact on performance.

Disjunction Query Expression

Enter a disjunction query expression. For example: @permanentid=aadd702687....

The disjunction query expression, typically populated by Coveo ML automatic relevance tuning models to ensure that relevant items are included in the query results. The resulting query expression is (((q aq) OR (dq)) cq).

Large Query Expression

Enter a large query expression. For example: I am looking for an enterprise-class native cloud SaaS/PaaS solution that ...

The large query expression, typically populated with a case description, long textual query, or any other form of text that can help refine a query.

Large Query Partial Match Max Keywords

Enter the maximum number of keywords from the large query expression that will be included in the partial match expression.

Large Query Partial Match Keywords

Enter the minimum number of keywords that need to be present in the large query expression to convert it to a partial match expression.

Large Query Partial Match Threshold

Enter a value indicating the minimum number of partial match expression keywords an item must contain to match the large query expression in case the Coveo ML Intelligent Term Detection (ITD) feature cannot extract relevant keywords from the large query expression. For example: 375% or all.

Excerpt Length

Enter the maximum length of result excerpts (in number of characters).

Retrieve First Sentences

Select whether to include the first sentences of textual items in the query results.

Fields to Include

Select the fields to include with each item in the query results. If specified, no other fields will be included.

Fields to Exclude

Select the fields to exclude from the query results. All other fields will be included with each item in the query result.

Facets

Select the facet operations to perform on the query results.

Facet Options

Select the global configuration options that apply to all facet requests performed along with the query.

Category Facets

Select any data to easily query a hierarchical field using a path of hierarchical values.

Sort Criteria

Select the criteria to use for sorting the query results.

[Note] Note

You can specify a list of comma-separated sort criteria. However, this only works when combining:

  • Two or more field criteria (e.g., @views descending,@likes descending).

  • A single date criteria with one or more field criteria (e.g., date ascending,@views descending)

Ranking Functions

Select the array of ranking functions to execute on each query result item. The result of a ranking function is added to the result score, which can affect sorting.

Query Functions

Select the array of query functions to execute on each query result item. The result of a query function is stored in a temporary, dynamic field created at query time.

Enable Duplicate Filtering

Select whether to filter out duplicates, so that items resembling one another only appear once in the query results.

[Note] Note

Two items must be at least 85% similar to one another to be considered duplicates.

When a pair of duplicates is found, only the higher-ranked item of the two is kept in the result set.

Filter Field

Select the @-prefixed name of the field to use to group items into distinct folded query results.

Parent Field

Select the @-prefixed name of the field to use to be able to identify an item as a parent in a folded query result.

Child Field

Select the @-prefixed name of the field to use to be able to identify an item as a child of another item in a folded query result.

Filter Field

Select the @-prefixed name of the field to use to group items into distinct folded query results.

Search By ID

Select whether the q value contains the URI hash of a specific item that should be returned.

Syntax

Enter the name of the query syntax to apply when interpreting the basic query expression.

Summary Length

Enter the length of the automatically generated item summary. The index generates a result item summary independently from the query, as opposed to a result item excerpt, which is generated based on query keywords.

Static Query

Select whether to execute this query in a way that does not count against the allowed number of queries per month of a Coveo Cloud organization (QPM), but may produce cached/outdated query results.

User Actions

Enter the parameters allowing user actions to be retrieved in query results. For example: [email protected]c7ab60e2-e6b8-41e8-be6a-ad5c8edc662e.

Pipeline

Enter the name of the query pipeline to use for this request (bypassing its conditions, if it has any).

Maximum Age

Enter the maximum age of cached results, in milliseconds.

[Note] Note

This parameter is automatically overridden when Static Query is set to Yes.

Search Hub

Enter the search hub. The Search Hub is the first level of origin, typically the identifier of the graphical search interface from which the request originates.

Tab

Enter the tab. The Tab is the second level of origin of the request, typically the identifier of the selected tab in the graphical search interface from which the request originates.
