Dictionaries, terms, and spotlights
By configuring dictionaries, terms, and spotlights, you can highlight assets on your site when visitors use search. For example, if you have a dictionary named Holiday sale
that includes the term gift
, you can create a spotlight that highlights an article called Top 10 holiday gifts
whenever a visitor's search query includes the term gift
.
- Dictionary—An organization of terms around a common idea or purpose (for example, Holiday sale, GraphQL, or Advertising). Dictionaries can be created and saved in Brightspot.
- Term—A component of a dictionary that returns a spotlight in search results (for example, gift, API, or demo).
- Spotlight—A highlighted asset that Brightspot returns after you map it to a term (for example,
Top 10 holiday gifts
,Inside Brightspot's GraphQL API
, orTop 10 reasons why editors love Brightspot
). Spotlights appear as promos in search results.
