Use this action in a search rule to elevate specific catalog
entries to display at the top of the search results list.
You can specify more than one catalog entry as a top search result,
as shown in the following sample screen capture:
Add the catalog entries to the Catalog entries table in the order
that you want them to be listed at the top of the search results.
When a customer submits a search:
If all the catalog entries in the table have equal relevance to
the customer's search, the order you specify in the table is
used in the search results.
If certain catalog entries in the table are more relevant to the
customer's search, those catalog entries are listed first in
the search results, regardless of the order you specify in the table.
Notes:
When shoppers select specific catalog entries to exclude from
search results, they do not appear in search results, even if specified
in this action.
The action can be configured to display products,
items or both. If your default store behavior is to exclude items
from the search result, the items configured in this action are not
displayed.
Ensure that the catalog entries that you want to promote are meant
to appear at the top of the search results.
Consider using this action as a complement to the Change Search Result Order action,
providing convenience benefits such as not needing to form differing
boost factors, if you already know which catalog entries you want
to promote. In addition to changing the display order of the search
result, you can also manipulate the search result. That is, you can
add catalog entries to the top of the search results that otherwise
would not appear in the shopper's initial search results.
