To make a field searchable, it must be configured as searchable in the catalog and be a member of a searchable field ranking list. Follow these steps to add a field to a searchable field ranking list.
On the Search tab, click Searchable Field Ranking.
Click the searchable field ranking list to which you want to add a field.
The searchable field ranking list displays index fields that are searchable. The order of the fields in the searchable field ranking list affects the ranking of search results. Fields higher up in the list have a greater ranking and search requests that match values in these fields appear first in your search results.
Click the Add Field box and select the index field that you want to add to the searchable field ranking list. You can also type the name of an index field in the box, and Commerce Cloud filters the list to match what you have typed. The match is not case sensitive.
If you cannot find the field, you must find the associated property in the catalog, click “Allow property to be searched,” and then publish your changes. See Create and edit product types and Publish all changes. Note that it might be several minutes after publishing completes for the new index field to appear.
The field is added to the bottom of the list of index fields.
Click the field and then click and drag it to the position in the list that reflects its rank.
Click Save.
Changes to the searchable field ranking list do not affect your store until after you publish.
