How to limit the search results and the facet values specifically for a search client?

Resolution

1. Login to SearchUnify Admin panel.
2. Navigate to search client and click Edit.
3. Navigate to Content source tab > Select the content source and click on Create formula.
4. Drag the objects/fields in the gray box to create the Formula list. For Example "Publication Status" is a field that gives the whether the article is published or not..

5. After creating the Formula list, for a given field, create the action that will be used to filter the results. For Example: "publish status" action will filter articles whose status is shown as "Online".

6. For single or multiple operations, you will have to create a formula field mapping. For Example NOT("publish status") will not show articles whose status is "online".
7. Click Save.
