When adding a facet, the Product Attributes Feed does not update correctly when set to Update on Save. To avoid this problem, go to Index Management and set Product Attributes Feed to Update by Schedule.
Live Search synonyms are defined per store view, but are currently stored per website and identified with a combination of environmentId and storeViewCode. As a result, all websites and store views within the Adobe Commerce installation share synonyms. The most recently created set of synonyms for the store view takes precedence.
If a synonym term contains multiple words, each word is treated as a separate synonym. For example, if you define “time piece” as a synonym of “watch”, both “time” and “piece” are treated as synonyms of watch.
