This chapter describes how to use the Search and Navigation REST API to configure the features that enable shoppers to search for product data in the storefront. The REST API enables you to export the search features from your application so that you can configure them, and then re-import them into your application. Configuration can be exported and imported in either ZIP format or JSON format, as described in this chapter. The two formats use the same set of URLs.

For an online summary of the Search and Navigation REST API, refer to the REST API for Oracle Commerce Cloud.

Important: Oracle recommends that you not modify the configuration of search features unless you are an advanced user and have requirements that you cannot meet in any other way. Oracle also recommends that you not attempt to modify any search features other than those described in this chapter. Note that some search features can be configured by the merchandiser, as described in Using Oracle Commerce Cloud. Consult this guide before deciding to configure search features as described in this chapter.
