About this parameter

Whether the current query will be taken into account in the Analytics.

Usage notes

Algolia captures analytics on every search. This is the default setting. Therefore, this setting’s primary use is to turn analytics off for a given query.

Examples

Note: in the above example, the IP was forwarded. This line of code is actually only useful when doing backend search.

The analytics feature relies on enduser IPs of search requests to:

find the location of the queries
compute some metrics like number of searches per IP

Therefore, when doing backend search, you need to forward the IP of the end user. Otherwise Algolia will see the queries coming from only one IP: the IP of your backend server.
