Application Management

Create and manage your SearchX applications from the dashboard.

Overview

Applications are the core organizational unit in SearchX. Each application represents a separate search instance, typically one per store or website. An application contains its own product index, search settings, and API credentials.

Creating an Application

1. Log in to the SearchX Dashboard.
2. Click Create Application.
3. Fill in the application details:
   • Name — A descriptive name for your application.
   • Origin URL — Your website domain (e.g., www.mystore.com). This is required for SDK authorization.
   • XML Feed URL — The URL to your product feed.
   • Feed Type — Select Google Merchant, Facebook Catalog, or Skroutz.
4. Click Create.

Application Details

Each application has the following sections:

Products

View and manage your indexed products. You can:

• See the total number of indexed products.
• Browse individual products and their attributes.
• Re-import products from your feed.

Settings

Configure search behavior:

• Searchable, filterable, and sortable attributes.
• Ranking rules and product showcase.
• See Search Settings for details.

API Keys

Manage your application's API credentials:

• View your Application ID and API Key.
• Regenerate keys if needed.
• See Authentication for details.

Statistics

View search analytics and performance metrics:

• Total searches and click-through rates.
• Popular search queries.

Editing an Application

1. Go to Applications and select your application.
2. Click Edit to modify the application details.
3. You can update the feed URL, feed type, and other settings.
4. Click Save to apply changes.

Scheduled Imports

SearchX supports automated feed synchronization so you don't need to manually re-import products. You can configure the import frequency in your application settings:

• Hourly — Keeps your catalog in near-real-time sync.
• Daily — Suitable for most stores with regular catalog updates.
• Monthly — For catalogs that change infrequently.

Once configured, SearchX will automatically fetch and process your feed at the selected interval.

Import Errors

SearchX provides a dedicated Import Errors tab within your application that shows precise logs for any issues encountered during product import. Common issues include:

• Missing required fields in the product feed.
• Malformed data (e.g., invalid prices, broken HTML in descriptions).
• Unreachable feed URLs or temporary network failures.

If products are missing after an import, check the Import Errors tab first to identify and resolve the underlying issue.

Deleting an Application

Applications must be Suspended before they can be deleted. This ensures that billing and any active usage are handled correctly before removal.

To delete an application:

1. Go to Applications and select the application.
2. Click Suspend Application and confirm the suspension.
3. Once the application is suspended, click Delete Application.
4. Confirm the deletion.
