Underperforming Queries
The Underperforming Query Rewriting feature:
-
Uses signals data to identify underperforming queries
-
Suggests improved queries that could produce better conversion rates
When underperforming query rewriting is enabled and an incoming query contains a matching underperforming query term, the original query term is replaced by the improved query term.
Query improvements are applied in the Text Tagger stage of the query pipeline.
The Head/Tail Analysis job automatically creates query improvements based on your AI-generated data. When you navigate to Relevance > Rules, the application displays the Query Rewriting screen. Select Underperforming Query Rewriting. The application displays the Underperforming Query Rewriting screen.
| When you manually add new query improvements, subsequent job runs use those documents as input for machine learning to improve the job’s output. Unlike job-generated documents, manually-added query rewriting documents are never overwritten by new job output. |
Job-generated query improvements are always assigned an initial status of "Pending", never "Auto". Query improvements must be explicitly approved and published in order to be copied to the _query_rewrite collection.

Reviewing auto-generated query improvements
Query improvements that are automatically generated by the Head/Tail Analysis job are assigned the following status value:
-
Auto
All results will be automatically deployed to the
_query_rewritecollection.No action is required on these results, but you can edit them if you wish.
Adding new query improvements
You can manually add query improvements in addition to any generated by the Head/Tail Analysis job.
