Differences Between Live Site and Preview
Live Site
Note
When "IsInPreview" is set to false in SearchAPI Request
Any rules created or edited should apply to the live site immediately once the changes are saved. However, changes are visible after the cache interval, which can last up to 10-12 minutes.
Preview ("IsInPreview": true)
Note
When "IsInPreview" is set to true in SearchAPI Request
To see the rules set up with a specific date range within the Preview, Please specify the desired date range within the smart bar. This allows the preview to accurately reflect the rules as they would be applied within the specified timeframe.
