Purpose
Search result filters limit the set of flights on the search results output.
Examples of Use
Filter search results are used to:
- leave flights by packages with direct ticketing on the airlines' stock,
- exclude flights by marketing airlines or operating carriers that are unfavorable for the agency,
- delete flights that do not have enough available seats, so that there is more assurance that the available seats on that flight will not expire before booking,
- delete flights with low profit, so that only those flights that are guaranteed to give at least the specified amount of profit are included,
- exclude flights from airlines with which the agency does not have an agreement to leave in the output only those airlines from which the agent may receive commission,
- allow only certain destinations specified in the contract with airlines.
Work principle
Search results are filtered by rules. Before the results are generated, the filter checks flights according to all filtering rules.
Results filtering rule — a combination of conditions, under which the flight is removed from the search output at the same time.
Filter condition — the aggregate of a parameter, its properties and the specified values.
Filter parameter — the sign by which the flight is checked at filtering.
Condition property — the rule of comparison of flight with the values of the parameter specified in the condition. The property of the condition is determined by the way the values are specified:
- matches with (if you specify the values with the "Selected" option) - only the flights whose parameters correspond to the specified value are deleted.
- does not match with (if you specify the values with the "All except" option) - only the flights whose parameters do not correspond to the specified value are deleted.
Condition value — one or more specific objects of the parameter to be compared to the flight: specific continents, countries, airports, etc. If more than one value is specified, it is considered as alternative.
- A flight is deleted, if "at least one" rule has triggered.
- For the filtering rule to trigger, it is necessary to "fulfill all the conditions" of filtering specified in the rule.
Attention! If you got search results with the filter turned on and then turned it off, you need to start the search again to get unfiltered results.
Enabling search results filtering

Debugging search results filtering rules
The debug table of filter rules is used to check the filter's operation and to see which rules delete flights by which parameters.
To search on behalf of the manager and experts of the agency, the filter's performance for each search query is logged and displayed in a detailed debug table.
The debugging table of the filter's work for the results of this search opens in the logs of this search.
- Perform the search on behalf of the manager or expert of the agency. If the search is performed on behalf of a manager, the log page of this search opens when the search is completed.
- In search logs, the line with the message "flights/search/results/" contains a link to the debug table of the filter (the logs are currently not translated to English):
. - The link opens the debug table of the result filter for this search.
In the Deleted column:
- Yes - the flight has been removed from the output.
- No - the flight is allowed by the filters to be output.
For the deleted flights, the cell with the parameter OK in the row denotes the rule that removed the flight. Rule number - column name.

Attention! Let’s examine the wrong solution
To remove from search results flights of all airlines except Aeroflot (SU) operated by Russia, create one rule:
| Rule №1 | |
|---|---|
| + contains marketing airlines in any segment | All except:
|
| + contains operating airlines in any segment | All except:
|
The table shows an example of how the rule works for each flight in the search results.
| Example of work of rule №1 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| № | (Marketing airline in any segment: any except SU) ANDbr/>(Operating airline in any segment: any except FV) |
Result of rule's work | ||
| Flight 1 | (Marketing airline: SU) | (Operating airline: SU) | Flight remains. | |
| Flight 2 | (Marketing airline: SU) | (Operating airline: FV) | Flight remains. | |
| Flight 3 | (Marketing airline: UN) | (Operating airline: UN) | Flight is deleted. | |
| Flight 4 | (Marketing airline: S7) | (Operating airline: S7) | Flight is deleted. | |
| Flight 5 | (Marketing airline: S7) | (Operating airline: FV) | Flight remains. | |
| Flight 6 | (Marketing airline: FV) | (Operating airline: FV) | Flight remains. | |
The results contain variants 1, 5 and 6 because the rule only works if all conditions within the rule are triggered.
This rule is triggered when the marketing airline is not Aeroflot and the operating airline is not Rossiya at the same time. At the same time both requirements are met by flights №3 and №4.
Exclude flights with profit less than 400 rubles of all airlines except Aeroflot operated by Rossiya
To remove from search results flights with profit less than 400 rubles of all airlines except Aeroflot (SU) operated by Rossiya, create two rules:
| Rule №1 | |

| + contains marketing airlines in any segment | All except:
|
