Recommended Setup
For a normal header search, these settings are a good starting point:
- Minimum characters: 2
- Result limit: 6
- Enable Load more: Yes
- Maximum dropdown results: 24
- Dropdown max height: 420px
- Frontend style preset: UIkit / YOOtheme for YOOtheme sites, Bootstrap 5 for Bootstrap templates, or Generic for custom templates
- Ranking mode: Smart relevance for mixed sources, Simple / source order for predictable source-based ordering
- Ranking debug: No
For webshop search, enable product sources and consider giving product sources a higher priority.
For software product and subscription search, enable OCH Subscriptions and test product title, product key, price, and description output.
For document-heavy websites, enable DOCman, eDocman, or jDownloads and test access levels carefully.
For multilingual websites, use Joomla language constants in configurable frontend text fields.
