Before you start

  • Signal weights apply globally to all text searches for your store.
  • Changes take effect immediately after saving.
  • Use the search preview on the same page to test adjustments before saving.

​
Steps

  1. Go to Ranking Relevancy in the main navigation.
  2. On the Signal Weights tab, review the proportion bar showing the current weight distribution across all five signal groups.
  3. Adjust the slider for any signal group to increase or decrease its contribution. The other groups rebalance automatically to keep the total at 100%.
  4. To fine-tune sub-signals, expand a signal group:
    • Semantic — Adjust the balance between text similarity and image similarity.
    • Engagement — Adjust the relative importance of click-through rate, purchase rate, add-to-cart rate, and revenue.
    • Keyword — View the per-field weights derived from your attribute configuration (read-only).
  5. Use the Search Preview panel on the right to type a query and see how products rank with your current (unsaved) settings.
  6. Click Save when you are satisfied with the results.

​
Reset to defaults

If your adjustments produce unexpected results, click Reset to Defaults to restore the original weight distribution. The reset button only appears when your weights differ from the defaults.

​
Image search configuration

Click the Image Config button to open image search settings where you can configure which product images are used for visual search and set minimum image quality thresholds (width and height).

​
Tips

  • Start with small adjustments — moving a slider by 5–10% and previewing the effect is more reliable than large changes.
  • If search results feel too keyword-literal, try increasing the semantic weight.
  • If popular products aren’t surfacing for relevant queries, try increasing the engagement weight.
  • If recently added products need more visibility, increase the freshness weight.
