# Fundamental steps

This section will help you understand the pipeline templates and individual steps that are generated when you create a new collection. These pipelines will create a great search experience out of the box and provide a great starting point to further optimise the search results and tailor them to your organizational needs.

After creating a collection, navigate to the [pipeline editor](https://app.search.io/collection/pipelines). The query pipeline that was created has about 100 lines of configuration code. Let's break it down.

The steps in this pipeline can broadly be categorized into 5 categories.

1. Result settings
2. Language settings
3. Index scoring
4. Feature scoring
5. Data training

The Realtime Relevance Editor in Search.io makes it easy to experiment with different steps and understand the impact on your search results. Use the above as a starting point and explore more advanced steps as you get familiar with Search.io's capabilities.
