Examples of distinct attribute (API References)

[curquiza]

In the API Reference, the examples for the distinct attributes are introduced with movie_id which is the primary key of the index. The MeiliSearch hits are always distinct according to the unique identifier: so the primary key is the only attribute you will never put as a distinct attribute.
It does not help to understand the purpose of a distinct attribute 😇

• Change the GET example response
• Change the POST example input.

Hi @curquiza , can you elaborate a little on the issue? If no one is working on it I would like to take it up

[curquiza]

Hello @ishika22
The best would be to replace

• the movie_id used as distinct attributes by skuid
• the movies index UID by shoes

This to show the distinct attribute is not the unique identifier of the document
WDYT @meilisearch/docs-team?

Sure @curquiza
Can I take this up once it is confirmed?

[curquiza]

I let the @meilisearch/docs-team decide 🙂
