Displayed attributes

Child route of the settings route.

The fields whose attributes are added to the displayed-attributes list are displayed in each matching document. By default, all fields are considered to be displayedAttributes. This behavior is represented by the * in the settings. Setting displayedAttributes to an empty array [] will reset the setting to its default value.

Displayed attributes can also be updated directly through the global settings route along with the other settings.

::: note Updating the settings means overwriting the default settings of MeiliSearch. You can reset to default values using the DELETE routes. :::
