Marketplace Search overview

Search Results

One of the main functionalities of the Witboost Marketplace is the Marketplace Search; it features a user-friendly interface that allows users to search, filter, and view the details and metadata of the data products. The marketplace only shows entities that are consumable, or have a consumable child. The interface can also be customized to fit the necessity of the organization.

Customize search results ordering​

Order By

When you write a query in the search bar, the search results are ordered by relevance. The UI allows users to select a field to sort the search results by using the Order by: dropdown. The sorting options can be configured by the platform administrators, who can choose which fields will be shown to the end users as sorting options. By default, the Order by: dropdown has the following options: Relevance, Least Recent, Most Recent.

Sorting structure​

Each sorting option is an object composed of the following properties:

  • field: The field name in the document. For nested fields, you can use dot notation to access them.
  • ascLabel: A human-readable label for the ascending order that will be shown in the UI.
  • descLabel: A human-readable label for the descending order that will be shown in the UI.

These properties can be set in the configuration file under ui.appConfig.mesh.marketplace.ui.searchPage.orderBy property as follows:

# inside your values.yaml
ui:
  appConfig:
    # ... other configurations  ...
    mesh:
      marketplace:
        ui:
          searchPage:
            orderBy:
              - field: ...
                ascLabel: ...
                descLabel: ...
              - field: ...
                ...

For each sorting option, the search functionality will give the opportunity to select in which order (descending or ascending) to sort a specific field.
