Product Import

Import and sync your product catalog with SearchX.

Overview

SearchX imports products from XML feeds into a search index. The import process validates your feed, parses product data, and creates a searchable index optimized for fast retrieval.

Supported Feed Formats

Import Process

1. Feed Validation

Before importing, SearchX validates your feed:

• Checks that the URL is accessible.
• Verifies the XML structure matches the selected feed type.
• Validates required fields for each product.

2. Product Parsing

Products are extracted from the feed and mapped to SearchX's internal schema:

• Title, description, and other text fields are indexed for search.
• Numeric fields (price, etc.) are indexed for filtering and sorting.
• Images and URLs are stored for display.

3. Indexing

Parsed products are added to a Meilisearch index with:

• Full-text search capabilities.
• Faceted filtering support.
• Typo tolerance and synonym handling.

Re-importing Products

To update your product catalog:

1. Go to Applications > your app > Products.
2. Click Import Products.
3. SearchX will fetch the latest version of your feed and update the index.

Troubleshooting

• Import failed — Check that your feed URL is accessible and the XML is well-formed.
• Missing products — Ensure all required fields are present in your feed.
• Stale data — Re-import your products to get the latest catalog data.
