How to make a selective search Index in Qliksense

kunalkhatod123 — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 07:53:09 GMT

Is there a way to exclude a index field from regular search or filters also? We have about 80 columns and quite a few columns have mostly non distinct values. When we reload the app, app is taking quite a bit of time to index the values of these various columns. Users don't need filter capability on these columns. Wondering if there is a way to exclude these index fields from indexing.

Attaching an screenshot of the requirement wherein, I don't want some index fields out of these 20 index fields.

Two functions to use here:

Search Exclude

Maybe I don't understand your requirement, but this is all there is on search indexing. Maybe you could check this site out too https://dataonthe.rocks/faster-smart-search-with-better-results/.
