Test Your Tuning

Test Your Tuning replicates search client behavior. You can navigate to Test Your Tuning after making changes in Auto Tuning; Keyword Tuning; Content Source, Type, and Field Tuning; and Custom Tuning, where it's possible to measure the impact of changes.

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.

Use

In order to use, select a search client, go to Test Your Tuning, and turn on Apply Bypass Formula. Then, run searches. If you test often on a search client, you can even bookmark it by clicking in Select Search Client. In the image, "field-boosting-content-uat" is a bookmarked search client.

Viewing the results of your tweaks in Test Your Tuning is quicker than launching several separate search engines.

Apply Bypass Formula

The search box can be influenced by the keyword and intent tuning you have already employed, which is great for end-users but not when you are trying to tune results. To negate the impact of tuning and view all results, toggle on Apply Bypass Formula. Turning it on allows admins to see all the results for a search query irrespective of the current tuning settings.

Scoring Explanations

Next to each search result is a tile illustrating the role of tuning in a document's rank. Which quantifies the impact of Intent, Keyword, Content, and Custom on a search result. The hypothetical rank without new tuning settings is captured in Old Rank. The impact of tuning, positive or negative, is displayed next. In the image, you can see that Field Boosting has increased the rank of the document by seven stops. Finally, New Rank shows the actual rank.
