Can I differentiate documents for my user using search and match API? – RChilli HelpDesk

Yes, you can differentiate documents for your users using RChilli's Search and Match API. Here's how you can accomplish that and what features support document differentiation:

Using Search and Match API to Differentiate Documents

RChilli’s Search and Match API is designed to not just search resumes and job descriptions, but also categorize and rank them intelligently. You can distinguish between documents based on several powerful criteria:

1. Document Indexing for Ownership and Tagging

When a resume or job description is parsed and indexed via the ParseAndIndex API, you can tag each document with metadata (e.g., user ID, document ID, or source label). This helps:

Keep documents associated with individual users.
Perform user-specific searches or filtering.
Ensure data isolation and personalization.

Intelligent Matching and Filtering Capabilities

With RChilli's Search and Match Engine 3.0, you can create highly personalized and refined searches based on:

Skills
Location
Experience
Education
Company
Job title

This allows you to:

Differentiate resumes based on user profiles or historical performance.
Match resumes to jobs uploaded by specific users.
Use filters or faceting to refine results per user need.

Custom Scoring and User-Specific Weightage

You can implement custom scoring rules:

Prioritize documents based on user-defined weights (e.g., skills: 60%, location: 20%, etc.).
Assign different ranking logic per user or job profile.

Data Isolation with Index Keys

Each document indexed under a user’s unique API key is isolated from others. You can manage documents per user by:

Using different subuser_id values.
Searching documents only for that subuser.

Use the “Use Your Key” option in the portal to ensure you view documents uploaded with your API credentials.

Managing and Resetting User-Specific Data

If needed, you can delete all documents for a specific API key using the /deleteAllDocuments endpoint to reset a user’s environment:

Delete All Documents API

Best Practice: Combine Resume Parser + Search & Match

To fully differentiate and manage documents:

Parse using the Resume Parser.
Use ParseAndIndex to save structured data into the search engine.
Use metadata fields (subuser_id, custom tags) to differentiate users.
Use search filters and scoring logic for targeted searches.
