Diagnostics
Diagnostics is a tool that can be used to help diagnose the behavior of the search engine with a specific configuration and search phrase, mimicking the search behavior on a live site.
Diagnostics is run on the current unpublished data rather than the live data, to allow users to test the unpublished changes before committing them to the live site.
Pipeline analysis
The pipeline analysis shows how the search engine understands the search phrase and what ends up being searched for. It also makes it possible to analyze how the different rules influence the search engine and see the effect of the text analysis rules, for the current segment.
The documentation for pipeline analysis goes into more detail.
Search results
The search results display all products which would be found by the search phrase. When clicking a product, it shows why that product was matched with the search phrase by the search engine.
Products are shown with the same product information as in the Playground, using the product card fields configured for the segment under Settings → Product cards.
When semantic search is enabled for the segment and a semantic search rule applies to the experience, products found by semantic search are included in the search results and marked with the AI badge, exactly as in the Playground.
Clicking a product found by semantic search shows an additional AI semantic relevance section in the product details, stating that AI found the product relevant for the search phrase.
The product details list every field of the product for the selected SKU. In the fields that are searchable for the segment, the parts of the values that match the search phrase are highlighted. Fields that are not searchable are listed with their values, so the complete product can be reviewed in one place.
Missing products
Missing products allows for comparing a specific product against a search phrase and understanding why the product does not appear in a search. To use this feature, provide the product id or sku id of the product you expect to find.
The output shows the same match details as clicking a product in the search results section.
Combined with the pipeline analysis tool, this can be a great way to find out which modifications are needed in the text analysis rules.
