Indexing service 

An indexing service defines which records of one type are indexed and into which search engine they go. Create a new record of type Indexing Service in the configuration folder.

New record wizard with the record type Indexing Service

Create a new record of type Indexing Service

Enter a title and, optionally, a description. Select the indexer Type and the Search Engine created before. The built-in types are Pages, Content elements, News (only when EXT:news is installed) and Files. The form then shows the options of the selected type.

Indexing service record

A record type can have several indexing services, for example to index different page trees into different indexes.

Options by type 

Include content elements
Type
boolean
Types
Pages

Also index the content elements of each page. Their fields, as mapped in module.tx_typo3searchalgolia.indexer.tt_content.fields (see Fields), are stored in the page's content attribute, so no separate content element indexing service is needed. Records can get large this way, so check the record size limit of your Algolia plan. To leave content in specific columns out, see Excluding content element columns.
