Similar Searches

Similar Searches suggests keywords based on other users’ search behavior. To use it, turn on Similar Searches.

For instance, a search for “data repositories” might suggest “content sources” if that term is commonly associated with similar searches.

Key Points:

  • Similar Searches analyzes data from multiple users before suggesting a keyword.

  • Similar search suggestions work only when at least one document is available for a query.

  • Suggestions are based on sessions where at least two queries and two clicked results exist.

  • The order in which similar search suggestions are presented is based on the relevancy score.

  • The suggestions are stored in your browser's cache, so they might be different on the devices you use.
