Test Your Tuning

Test your Tuning helps you replicate the search behavior after the changes done in the tuning including, keyword tuning, content tuning, field-based tuning, and custom tuning. You can also see the impact that Auto Tuning is having on the search results in your search client.

Not only can you replicate the search but also compare the behavior against the live search and basic search.

NOTE.

The results in Test Your Tuning don't always match the results in your search client because Test Your Tuning ignores all access control settings.

If you want to see the updated ranking based on the applied changes in tuning, you can click Test your Tuning. Or you can just press Save to save the changes.

1. Select a search client and click Test Your Tuning. If you often use a search client, you can even bookmark it by clicking .

   

2. Toggle on Apply Bypass Formula to override the impact of formulas defined in the Create Formula section of the search client. Apply Bypass Formula helps you see all the data irrespective of the data excluded due to the formulas applied on the search client.

   NOTE. If you haven't changed any settings in tuning, you will only see the Live Search results as shown in the above screenshot.

   

3. Perform a search to view the results of your tuning adjustments. This is more convenient than launching multiple separate search engines to see how the changes impact the results.

   

4. There are three segmentations that you will see in the search results:

   • Unsaved Tuning vs Live Search shows a comparison of search results after the latest changes in tuning against the live search on your search client.

   • Unsaved Tuning vs Basic Search shows a comparison of search results after the latest changes in tuning against the vanilla search on your search client.

   • Live vs Basic Search shows a comparison of search results on the live search of your search client against the basic search.

Unsaved Tuning refers to the changes in the tunings that you as an Admin must have made. The term ‘unsaved’ indicates that the changes made in the tuning are not saved yet. Only when you are convinced that the search is showing the expected results in Test your Tuning, save the settings. After saving the changes, the updated search results are shown in the search client.

Live Search refers to the search results currently being shown on your search client.

Basic Search refers to the vanilla/raw search results that would have been visible without any tuning or formulas or any modification in the search client.

Save the settings after you see the desired ranking of search results.

Ranking Explanations

Every search result has a title, hovering which illustrates the role of tuning in a document's rank. This helps admins quantify the impact of Intent, Keyword, Content, and Custom on a search result. The effect of tuning, positive or negative, is displayed next. New Rank shows the updated rank of a document as an impact of the changes in tuning.
