Feature Overview
Query Suggestions Preview is a feature in Synerise AI Search that lets users test, evaluate, and refine search suggestions in real time. It provides a dedicated interface for previewing suggestions as an end user would see them, complete with relevance scores, suggestion origin types, and a deny list for excluding unwanted suggestions.
The feature is available in the Query Suggestions Preview section within Synerise AI Search.
What Is Query Suggestions Preview?
Query Suggestions Preview is a testing and evaluation tool in Synerise AI Search that displays search suggestions dynamically as users type, showing numerical relevance scores (up to 100), suggestion origin types (engine-based, attribute-based, or manually added), and the ability to exclude suggestions via a deny list. It provides the same view end users would see, with added behind-the-scenes insights for optimization.
Why Query Suggestions Preview Matters
Search suggestions influence which queries users submit and what products they discover. Without a way to preview and evaluate how suggestions are generated, ranked, and displayed, teams cannot verify that their suggestion configuration is producing relevant, clean results.
Query Suggestions Preview addresses this by:
- Providing live suggestion previews that mirror the end-user experience
- Displaying numerical relevance scores for each suggestion to explain prioritization
- Identifying suggestion origins (engine-based, attribute-based, manually added)
- Offering a deny list for excluding irrelevant or unwanted suggestions
Key Capabilities
Live suggestion preview
Type directly into the search box and watch suggestions appear dynamically, exactly as an end user would experience them.
Relevance scores
Each suggestion displays a numerical relevance score (up to 100), explaining why certain terms are prioritized over others in the suggestion list.
Suggestion origin identification
Each suggestion is labeled with its origin type: engine-based (generated by the search engine), attribute-based (derived from product attributes), or manually added (configured by the team).
Deny list management
Irrelevant or unwanted suggestions can be added to a deny list directly from the preview interface, excluding them from appearing in live search.
How Query Suggestions Preview Works
- Navigate to the Query Suggestions Preview section in Synerise AI Search.
- Type a query in the search box.
- Suggestions appear dynamically in descending order of relevance score.
- Review each suggestion's relevance score and origin type.
- Add unwanted suggestions to the deny list to exclude them from live search.
Example Use Case
A merchandising team notices that typing "dress" in the search bar suggests "dresser" and "dressing gown" before "dress shoes" — a higher-value suggestion. Using Query Suggestions Preview, they see that "dresser" has a higher engine-based relevance score. They add "dresser" and "dressing gown" to the deny list, and verify in the preview that "dress shoes" and "summer dresses" now appear first.
