  1. Fundamentals

Search settings

Search.io comes pre-configured with great relevancy. However, since no two sites or apps are the same, it's important to understand what configuration options are available.

Relevance is a measurement of how well a document matches a query. To determine which documents are most relevant for a given search query, Search.io leverages a hybrid search engine that combined traditional keyword matching with semantic search through our Neuralsearch™ engine. Combined with machine learning algorithms, Search.io does not only takes into account the frequency with which the search terms appear in documents, but also user behaviour and business data to achieve the most relevant results.

To fine-tune relevance and ranking, Search.io offers a number of easy to use settings combined with a realtime search preview.
