Rules can be triggered by specific search terms (and automatically extended to its synonyms) or applied without any user query needed.
Improve search relevance with Rules
Enhance your default ranking by setting up Rules to fine-tune internal search relevance and detect or respond to user intent.
Based on an “If This Then That” logic, Rules let you make precise modifications to your Search & Discovery experience.
Algolia offers unlimited space to define your own set of rules, leveraging various strategies applied in any situation :
