SearchJet offers a range of settings to control how search behaves on your site. Configure these under SearchJet Settings in your WordPress admin.

Instant Results: Show results as the user types. Enable this for the best experience. Disable if you want a traditional search page.
Debounce Time: Delay before searching after the user stops typing. Recommended: 300ms. Lower values feel faster but use more API calls.
Minimum Characters: Require at least 2-3 characters before showing results. Prevents accidental searches on single keystrokes.
Results Limit: Maximum results to show in the dropdown. Default is 8. Increase if your site has many content types.

Theme Colors: Auto-detect from your theme or set custom colors for the search bar and dropdown.
Result Layout: Choose between compact (title and excerpt) or detailed (title, excerpt, category, reading time).
Mobile Behavior: Full-screen search overlay on mobile for better usability on small screens.

Content Types: Choose which post types to index (posts, pages, products, custom types).
Custom Fields: Enable ACF, Toolset, or JetEngine fields for indexed content.
Taxonomies: Index categories, tags, and custom taxonomies for filtered search.
Reindex: Trigger a full reindex after making changes to content or index settings.
