Search Rules

Using the Search Rules feature of the procurement platform to yield "Preferred Products."

Summary

Search Rules allows Procurement to create granular rules controlling which products are returned to users in shop search results for specific queries and within certain periods of time.

All current search rules can be viewed on the Search Rules page under Search. From here, search rules can be managed and created.

Creating Rules

To create a new rule:

  2. Choose the Query Type whether the user's search query should be exactly that query, or simply contain it. Specify a search query that will trigger the rule then click Continue.

  3. Add an appropriate name for the rule that would easily remind you of the search rule.

  4. Select to which the rule should apply to. You may select as many presets as needed.

  6. Edit or reset the query and date range by selecting the desired start and end dates.

  7. Products may also be pinned and hidden by editing the Pin & Hide section.
