The Tweakwise app allows you to stack up various steps onto the search algorithm funnel.
You can edit the order of these algorithms yourself.
When a search action is executed, it:
- starts at the upper algorithm.
- No results? Then it continues to the next algorithm.
- If there is a result, the funnel will stop and show the matching products that it found.
You should maintain the following basic set up for the search algorithm, including the order:
| Algorithm | Explanation |
|
Compares the input to the product's Tweakwise product number. |
|
| Exact match |
Compares the input to the selected property in the dropdown. |
| Category match | This algorithm searches for a match based on a category name. |
| Word Search |
This algorithm searches for a match on all terms in the query based on the search properties setup. |
| Autocorrection |
Autocorrection corrects typos but doesn't search for anything. |
| Word Search |
This algorithm searches for a match on all terms in the corrected query based on the search properties setup. |
| Fuzzy Search |
This algorithm searches for all separate terms in the query. |
