Overview

This node operation allows users to add or delete multiple entries in Algolia dictionaries, specifically in the plurals, stopwords, or compounds dictionaries. It is useful for managing custom dictionary entries in Algolia to tailor search behavior, such as adding new plural forms, stop words, or compound word entries. For example, a user can batch add new plural forms or remove outdated stop words in a single request.

Use Case Examples

  1. Batch add new plural entries to the plurals dictionary to improve search accuracy for plural forms.
  2. Delete specific stop words from the stopwords dictionary to refine search results.
  3. Replace all entries in the compounds dictionary with a new set of compound words.
