We are integrating Swiftype app search in our Ruby on Rails application. GitHub - swiftype/swiftype-app-search-ruby: Swiftype App Search Ruby Client - Using this gem. Sample query structure is

[{:query=>""Accounting Manager" OR "Audit/Compilance" OR "Bookkeeper" OR "Controller" OR "Director of Finance" OR "Finance Manager" OR "Finance Analyst" OR "Financial Reporting / SEC" OR "Principal Analyst" OR "Payroll" OR "Revenue" OR "Senior Accountant" OR "Senior Financial Analyst" OR "Staff accountant" OR "Tax"", :options=>{:page=>{:size=>1000}, :search_fields=>{:roles_intersted_in=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:search_fields=>{:company_size=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:search_fields=>{:software_experience=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:search_fields=>{:certifications=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:search_fields=>{:company_size_interested_in=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:search_fields=>{:desired_location=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:search_fields=>{:full_time_role=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:page=>{:size=>1000}, :search_fields=>{:type_of_employment=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:page=>{:size=>1000}, :search_fields=>{:years_experience=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}, {:query=>"", :options=>{:page=>{:size=>1000}, :search_fields=>{:industry_experience=>{}}, :result_fields=>{:id=>{:raw=>{}}, :email=>{:raw=>{}}}}}]

While query string exceeds 64 character getting error. Is it happening due to using trial version? or paid version also have this restriction? Please clarify us before get paid engines.

Hey @vinothinibj_3. I believe there is a character limit on the “query” parameter for all accounts, whether it is a paid or trial account makes no difference.

@vinothinibj_3 Is it possible for you to use filters instead of a search query?

query = ""
engine_name = "your_engine"
options = {
  filters: {
    roles_intersted_in: ["Accounting Manager", "Audit/Compilance", "Bookkeeper"]
  }
}
client.search(engine_name, query, options)
