Synonyms guidance improvement

Predict and check your synonyms impact in an easier way

As part of our ongoing commitment to making our products more user-friendly, we have implemented some additional guidance in the synonyms creation process.

  1. Enhanced Visibility of Search Term Impact:

When creating a new synonym instance, you can now see how each term will affect search results:

  • For Uni-directional instances, you will see the exact matches of the terms added as synonyms.

  • For Bi-directional instances, you will see the exact matches for both the synonyms and the search term (since the search term also impacts the results of synonyms when the selected type is Bi-directional).

Additionally, by clicking on a term’s tag, you can view a specific list of products that the exact search will return.

  1. Synonym impact verification from your Clerk.io account:

When creating or editing synonyms, you will most likely want to check its effect on your store searches. Now you can do that directly from your Clerk account:

  • Save your synonym by clicking the “Save” button.
  • Wait for the synonyms to update (it will be done when the informative alert dissapears).
  • Click the “Check synonyms effect” button.
