Improve relevance with AI-based rules
Enhance your default ranking by setting up Rules to fine-tune internal search relevance and detect or respond to user intent.
Algolia offers unlimited space to define your own set of rules
Based on an “If This Then That” logic, Rules let you make precise modifications to your Search & Discovery experience, leveraging various strategies applied in any situation.
Rules can take into account various contextual elements (device used, category page, geolocation).
Rules can be limited to a specific time-range or be “always on”.
