Add, delete, and manage fields to customize index configurations. Field properties created here are used to create the search index schema. You can change field properties for multiple purposes such as assigning weights and creating facets.
When you extract a web page, document, or add an FAQ manually, SearchAssist automatically generates the corresponding fields and adds them to the Fields page. You can also add custom fields to this default list.
