The initial index settings are only applied during the first crawl of an index.
After this, these settings wonβt be re-applied.
This prevents you from overriding changes you made, for example, in the Algolia dashboard.
This setting is an object with index names as keys and their
index settings as values.
Examples
{
initialIndexSettings: {
myIndexName: {
searchableAttributes: ["title"],
},
mySecondIndexName: {
searchableAttributes: ["title"],
},
},
}
