# Indexed source attributes for AI Search

An indexed source attribute defines indexing behavior for all records from an indexed source.

Examples of how you might use indexed source attributes include the following.

-   Define a filter to limit the set of records indexed from the source table
-   Modify default indexing behavior for attachments or tags found on source table records
-   Specify whether to index translated fields from source table records

An indexed source's attributes appear in its Advanced Configuration related list.
