Instantsearch.js: Possibility to toggle searchable attributes
Hello,
i would like to ask you, if there is the possibility to toggle a searchable attribute via checkbox.
E.g. the user searches for a special "keyword" but can't find it. So he checks the box for "fulltext search" and can find a keyword by any definition.
The only solution i've found, was to index the keywords twice. Once with and without the "fulltext".
Thanks for your help.

Hi @stelem unfortunately searchableAttributes is a setting parameter. It can't be changed with search parameters.
On the Algolia side, one way is to rely on primary / secondary with different searchableAttributes.
And then switch the index on the fly. You can use the sortBySelector for that. But since you mentioned that you wanted a checkbox, then you probably want to have a look at the connector.
