Response rewriting is a strategy for improving relevancy using AI-generated data by modifying Solr’s response before passing it to the search application. There are two approaches to configuring response rewriting:

<LwTemplate />

## Rules

Any [rule type](/docs/lucidworks-search/07-improve-your-queries/query-rewriting/overview) can add content to the response by modifying the `responseValues` field. These two rule types can replace the whole response:

* Banner\
  Display a user-defined banner message when the rule fires.
* Redirect\
  Send users to a different URL instead of the search results.

For more information, see [Query rewriting business rules](/docs/lucidworks-search/07-improve-your-queries/query-rewriting/overview) section.

## Query pipeline stages

Query pipeline stages that perform response rewriting must appear **after** the [Solr Query stage](/docs/lucidworks-search/09-developer-documentation/config-specs/query-pipeline-stages/solr-query). These stages fall into two categories:

* **Stages that act on the whole set of results**

  * [Response Shuffle stage](/docs/lucidworks-search/09-developer-documentation/config-specs/query-pipeline-stages/response-shuffle)\
    "De-bias" results by shuffling the top N results randomly.

  * [Response Pairwise Swap stage](/docs/lucidworks-search/09-developer-documentation/config-specs/query-pipeline-stages/response-pairwise-swap)\
    "De-bias" results by swapping the search results at any two positions, such as positions 1 and 2, positions 3 and 4, and so on.

* **Stages that act on individual documents**

  * [Response Document Exclusion stage](/docs/lucidworks-search/09-developer-documentation/config-specs/query-pipeline-stages/response-document-exclusion)\
    Drop all documents that match all of the specified rules.

  * [Modify Response with Rules stage](/docs/lucidworks-search/09-developer-documentation/config-specs/query-pipeline-stages/modify-response-rules)\
    Apply [rules](/docs/lucidworks-search/07-improve-your-queries/business-rules/overview) to the response.
