Search settings

Sellvio utilizes a robust and highly efficient search engine known as Elastic Search.

Elastic Search is a versatile, high-performance search engine that excels in fast and efficient searching, real-time data analysis, and full-text search.

It is capable of fast searching, handling large volumes of data, performing effective text search, and handling complex queries.

Let's shift the focus from technical aspects and explore the search settings available, and how Sellvio's search engine can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a business.

• Fuzziness – This setting determines how sensitive the search is to typos. Increasing the value considers more characters when evaluating misspellings, but setting the value too high may lead to less relevant search results. Recommended values are typically 1 or 2.

Boosting settings

Boost parameters work like a seesaw. They allow administrators to control the ranking of search results. For example, if a higher boost is set for the "name" field, products with the search term in their name will rank higher in the search results. A boost of 20 increases the score of a result by 20%.

Parameter boosting

Highlighting parameters serve as an additional layer on top of the standard highlighting settings, allowing store owners to fine-tune their search results.

Boosting parameters, just like highlighting, work like a seesaw. They enable administrators to control the ranking of search results based on specific conditions. For example, if the highlighted product's parameter is boosted, those products will appear higher in the search results. A boost of 20 increases the match score by 20%.

These various boosting options enable highly effective marketing strategies. For instance, store owners can highlight new products before the start of a new season, then give priority to special or featured products as the holiday season approaches.

 

One thing is clear: the potential applications of these options for increasing traffic are virtually limitless.
