Top Frequently Asked Questions
Website and eCommerce Search tools that exist today tend to solve for relevancy by optimizing indexing and/or results ranking. Current tools also focus on the content and keywords, trying their best to match a result with what they think the user intended. However, they do not factor in user behavior. SearchBoost.ai tackles this problem by focusing on the users and their experience - after all it is them who will consume search results. We observe your anonymous and known users, their behaviors and patterns. Then we train that data using a number of machine learning models and techniques to ultimately serve your users with a predictive, relevant and personalized search results that cater to the highest clicks and conversions.
SearchBoost.ai imports your user behavior from your data source using our out of the box connectors with leading data tools like Adobe Analytics or Google Analytics. Then pulls in search results from your search tool with connectors for leading search engines like Apache Solr or Elasticsearch as well as connectors to some of the top experience platforms like Adobe, SAP and Acquia Drupal. Using the user data and search results, SearchBoost.ai trains a machine learning model for better results. After the new smart results are produced, SearchBoost.ai pushes those results back to your search engine. Once your search engine has the new results, it would serve your users on your site with them. Also you will have a number of reports and dashboards showing you insights on the performance of SearchBoost.ai, including in your data analytics and in our own dashboard.
