Electronics & high-tech: USB-C, IP68 and 512 GB pulled out of the label

A green circuit board seen edge-on, four colour-banded resistors, two ceramic capacitors marked 104 and 22, and a blue capacitor marked 10 µF 16 V.

A 65W charger and a 45W charger look alike as text. Not in use.

One unit mistaken for another

Electronics specs are numeric quantities with units — watts, battery life, volts, gigabytes, ingress protection rating (the detail of each attribute). A text engine treats “65W” as a string: “65W” and “45W” look close to it. For the buyer, one charges their laptop, the other doesn't.

Power, connectors and capacity read

The electronique rule pack activates when you pick this industry, at indexing time. It produces these annotations, each becoming a usable filter:

AnnotationWhat it isolates
PUISSANCE_65Wthe wattage, read as a quantity
AUTONOMIE_30Hbattery life in hours, never mistaken for a wattage
CONN_USBCthe connector — USB-C, HDMI, jack or Bluetooth
NORME_IP68the ingress protection rating, with or without a space after IP
CAPACITE_512GOthe storage capacity, in GB as well as TB

Here it is the letter after the number that decides the axis: 65 W is a wattage, 30 h a battery life, 12 V a voltage, 2 A a current. Four quantities, one digit, and nothing to tell them apart for a text engine. On top of those: the family — charger, speaker, headphones, cable — and two compositions: CHARGEUR_65W joins family and wattage, BT_AUTONOMIE_30H the battery life of a wireless product. The “3.5 mm” of a jack, meanwhile, is read as a connector and not as a measurement.

Three products, listing as is

Four spellings of one connector

“USB C”, “USB-C”, “Type-C”, and “USBC” all mean the same connector. A customer typing any one of the four forms should find your entire range — not a quarter of it.

A filter by value, not a word

The electronics pack recognizes units and connector spelling variants at indexing time. It also lets you filter by quantity — “chargers above 60W” — something a purely textual index can't do.

A term specific to your catalog that the pack still misses (a manufacturer-specific range name, for example)? Add your own Custom Rule from the console, simply describing what it should recognize — no regex required.

Index your electronics catalog

The getting started guide covers the full setup, from sign-up to your first indexed catalog. The documentation details every endpoint.

Watch the breakdown happen. The table above is the engine's output, not hand-written. The same mechanism runs on the home page, with no signup — on a hardware or fashion catalog, not electronics. What you see there is the annotation mechanism itself, the one the electronique pack applies to your wattages and connector types.
