Better Null Search Experience
Business Goal: When my customers search, they may be looking for a product line that I don’t carry. I want to suggest other searches that would bring back products I do carry, and I want those searches by driven by my customer’s behavior - not having to be curated by merchandisers.
This experience can be used on a null result landing page, and it will be powered by popular searches that returned products:
Personalization
This experience can be powered by all popular searches on your site - to generate a variety of alternative searches - or by using any of the API filters to a subset of traffic that’s specific to your customer.
Sample Request
This query relies on just one factor - the fact that Recommendations will return searches that will bring back results. By querying with a matchPartial against our popular searches, we can see what popular searches contain the searched for phrase and bring back other suggested searches.
In this example, we are using a demo Apparel site and we will use the null query denim shirt:
curl -H "Authorization: --clientKey--" \
-XPOST "https://--customerId--.groupbycloud.com/wisdom/v2/recommendations/searches/_getPopular" \
-d '{"matchPartial":{"and":[{"search":{"query":"denim shirt"}}]}}'The response will be:
{
"result": [
{
"count": 1,
"query": "jeans shirt"
}
],
"serverTimestamp": "2020-01-21T15:10:48+00:00",
"status": {
"additionalInfo": null,
"code": 200,
"message": "OK"
}
}
