How to Search Custom Value Documents in Search Engine?

To search Custom Value Documents in the RChilli Search Engine (Search & Match API), follow these structured steps:

1. Index the Custom Documents

Before searching, your custom value documents (like resumes or job descriptions) must be indexed. This means parsing the content and storing it in a searchable format using one of the following:

• ParseAndIndex API Endpoint: This combines parsing and indexing in one step.

  • Documentation: ParseAndIndex API

POST /parseAndIndex
{
"filedata": "{{base64data}}",
"filename": "resume.pdf",
"userkey": "{{your_user_key}}",
"version": "8.0.0",
"subuserid": "{{your_subuser_id}}"
}

You can also use separate Parse and Index API calls if needed.

2. Perform a Search Query

Once your documents are indexed, use the ResumeSearch or JobSearch endpoint, depending on whether you are searching resumes or job descriptions.

• Example for Resume Search:

POST /searchResumes
{
"userkey": "{{your_user_key}}",
"subuserid": "{{your_subuser_id}}",
"searchText": "Java Developer AND New York",
"facets": ["skills", "location", "education"],
"pagination": {
"pageSize": 10,
"pageIndex": 0
}
}

3. Use “Use Your Key” in MyAccount

If you're using RChilli's MyAccount portal and your uploaded documents aren't showing up in search:

• Go to Integration → Search and Match → Resume Search

• Click on “Use Your Key” to ensure it’s searching your indexed documents, not demo data

4. Clear Old/Test Data

To remove unwanted or test data:

• Use the DeleteAllDocuments API to clean your environment before re-indexing new custom documents.

Important Notes

• Only indexed documents are searchable.

• Use the correct userkey and subuserid.

• Make sure your documents were indexed with the same credentials you're using to search.
