I’m trying to follow this guide about User-restricted access to data.

I’m setting up a web store, storing the products in Algolia, and interacting with it via PHP and JS. I’m struggling to understand what the best configuration would be.

I have an index (products) of all our available products. These products all have unique groups of attributes (like, size, or color, etc).

I know the default behavior is to return all of the records if an empty string is passed when performing a search, but I want to do the opposite: return no records.
