Filters
Filters give you the ability to process value of fields before indexation.
Filters are separated each others by colons (:) and may have optional arguments separated by commas (,).
Multiple filters can be chained. The output of one filter is applied to the next.
List of filters:
| Filter | Signature | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| strip | strip() |
strip |
Strip HTML. It can be useful for excerpt and content value to not index HTML tags and attributes. |
| truncate | truncate(start: number, end: number) |
truncate,0,300 |
Truncate string from start index to end index. Algolia has some limitations about record size so it might be useful to cut post contents. |
Example

This property will be added to algolia records as contentStripTruncate
