Plugin settings

• Canonical Type: For optimal performance, you can specify the URI of the canonical type in which you want to search.

Technical information and requirements

The plugin works best when the amount of search instances is below 500. To improve the performance, you can optionally add a canonical type URI in the global settings of your plugin. This will filter the results to this canonical type and can improve the performance.
