searching in a specific attribute (column) with Algolia

I am trying to utilise Algolia's Natural Language search to search amongst my already populated indices, but I only need to search in the "name" column.

I am having a difficult time figuring how to do it. I am using the PHP SDK, and I've managed to facet it, but that only returns facetHits, with the value of the hit, but I still need the data from the model.

Solution

You have to change searchableAttributes.

$index->setSettings([
  'searchableAttributes' => [
    'name',
  ]
]);
