Filter By Boolean
On this page
Algolia allows you to filter results by boolean attributes. Imagine you have an e-commerce website, and you want user to search only through available products. With filtering, you can create an is_available
attribute and exclude all records with is_available = false
.
Dataset Example
Let’s say we have an index called products
that looks like this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
[
{
"name": "Apple iPhone 5s",
"is_available": true
},
{
"name": "Apple iPhone 7",
"is_available": true
},
{
"name": "Apple iPhone X",
"is_available": false
},
...
]
Applying a boolean filter
If you want users to see only the available products, do the following.
In the engine, booleans are considered as integers so we apply a numeric filter with a value equal to 0
or 1
.

$results = $index->search('query', [
'filters' => 'is_available=1'
]);
