Search merchandising features in the Management Center
Search rules in the Marketing tool
Search rules are managed by Marketing Managers and are created by using the Search Rule Builder. They are used when customers search the storefront to deliver customized search results and ordering. When a customer views search results, the search rule determines how search results are listed. For example, targeting different products in search results by changing the order of the search results, adding or replacing search criteria, or specifying the top search results.
For more information, see Working with search rules.
Site search statistics in the Catalogs tool
By reviewing site search statistics, you learn what customers are intending to find on your web site when they enter keywords in the search field. You can then make targeted improvements to optimize your site search, improve your site navigation, and ultimately increase conversions. Management Center provides site search statistics in two reports: the Top Search Hits report and the Top Search Misses report.

Personalization in the Catalog Filter and Pricing tool
- It can be used as a rule-based view created against categories, products, attributes of a product, or properties of a product.
- When applied to a contract, shoppers entering the storefront with a contract are presented with a personalized view of the catalog.
- Global filtering can remove items from the storefront based on certain global rules, such as inventory level, to avoid displaying out-of-stock or low in-stock inventory.
