search Block in Agent Configuration

This page provides reference information for configuring the Nomad server search API in the search block of a Nomad agent configuration. Enable fuzzy searching. Configure the minimum size of the search term, the maximum number of Nomad objects to search through per context type, and the max number of matching results.

server {
  search {
    fuzzy_enabled   = true
    limit_query     = 200
    limit_results   = 1000
    min_term_length = 5
  }
}

search Parameters

• fuzzy_enabled (bool: true) - Specifies whether the fuzzy search API is enabled. If not enabled, requests to the fuzzy search API endpoint will return an error response.

• limit_query (int: 20) - Specifies the maximum number of Nomad objects to search through per context type in the Nomad server before truncating results. Setting this parameter to a high value may degrade Nomad server performance.

• limit_results (int: 100) - Specifies the maximum number of matching results to accumulate per context type in the API response before truncating results. Setting this parameter to a high value may cause excessively large API response sizes.

• min_term_length (int: 2) - Specifies the minimum size of the search term allowed for matching with the fuzzy search API. Setting this value higher can prevent unnecessary load on the Nomad server from broad queries.
