Hi Team,

As per the documentation meta tags with class "swifttype" will be read by Swiftbot, but it is not working . I added this class to meta tag name "description" like below

and i don't see this data in the document created after crawling. Can anyone help on this ?

Thanks !

Hi sarrame!

It seems like there is a typo in the class you are using. The correct class name is `swiftype` with a single T.

Hope this helps!

So lets say i modify the tag, and do i need to recrawl manually or will the crawler do automatically ?

Manually will be the fastest way to go!

Thanks for your quick response @JonasLavoie , but I tried it earlier and it took more than half day and there were no documents added.

Is this data being loaded lazily via JavaScript?

@JonasLavoie , no my website is Gatsby React based framework and it process the static sites and it is meant to load pages fast.

Whenever i do changes to the header of the website and try to do re-crawl i have noticed it takes for ever and after half a day is passed i would delete the existing domain and add the domain again where the crawl happens fast. , I am not sure if this approach is causing the trouble.

It seems like the small bumps you are hitting are related to your specific setup. I would suggest reaching out to our [Support Team](mailto:support@elastic.co) who will be more than happy to troubleshoot the issue with you in a personalized way.
