Search

Studio’s search panel lets you check the state of your project’s search index and run test queries against it. Open it from the Search icon in the Studio nav rail.

Note

Search has to be enabled on your project from the main dashboard first. If neither traditional nor AI search is enabled, the panel shows a “Search not enabled” message with a pointer to the dashboard.

Status overview

Three cards across the top of the panel summarise the index:

Card	Description
Records	Total number of records currently in the search index
Search Type	Which modes are active — Traditional, AI, or both
Last Indexed	Relative time of the last index update; an em-dash is shown if it isn’t known

Search preview

Use Search Preview to run a query without leaving Studio. Type into the input and click Search (or press Enter). Up to five hits are returned, each showing the page title, URL, and a content summary (trimmed to 120 characters). “No results found.” is shown when nothing matches.

Extractor configuration

If your project has traditional search configured, Studio shows a read-only summary of the extractors used to build each record:

• Title
• Content
• Summary
• Image

Each row shows the CSS selector or rule used to extract that field. If any custom extractors are configured, the count is shown beneath the four standard rows.

To change extractors, edit the search configuration in the main dashboard.

AI Search

If AI search is enabled on the project, an AI Search card lists:

• Site ID — the AI Search site identifier for the project.
• Pages indexed — how many pages are in the AI index.
• Base URL — the base URL configured for AI search.

Danger zone

The Clear Index button empties the search index. You’re asked to confirm before it runs — the action can’t be undone, and the record count drops to zero on success.
