Makers Algorithm

Makers algorithm is how Aiimi Insight Engine determines the relevancy of a result. Administrators need to set rules for query types that determine the relevancy of a search result. You can adjust the relevancy score applied to a result based on different Query Types.
You must enable Makers algorithm to get Boosted Relevancy Scores.
Sign in to the Control Hub.
Go to Global Settings then Search.
Select "Enabled" under Makers Algorithm to change the status.
If the checkbox is marked it is enabled, If it's empty it is disabled.
Click "Update" to save and apply your changes.
Apply a Boost to the relevancy score of a result from a Phrase, "AND" and "OR" query type. The Boost is the value that is added to a result to determine its "score". The higher the boost score the higher up the results list it will appear.
Makers algorithm must be enabled for boost layers to take effect. If no Boost Layers are defined, relevancy will revert to default settings.
Go to Search within the Global Settings of Control Hub.
Select Add Boost Layer (This will open a modal).
Choose the query type you want to create.
Please note, you can only boost one AND query type.
Select Done.
To remove a layer Select the Delete (Bin icon).
When you have added a Phrase query you can add a Boost and a Slop percentage.
Within the Boost input, enter a score you want to give a result that matches a phrase. The Higher the score the higher in a results list it will appear.
Within the Slop (%) input, enter the percentage of additional words within a phrase before it’s not a match. For exact matches leave this as 0.
The Slop is calculated by the Slop Percentage and the number of words in a query excluding words like "and", "the", and "it".
You can create multiple Phrase boosts with varying Slop percentages and boost so you can have a higher boost for a query with less "Slop" and vice versa.
When you have added an AND query you can add a Boost score for this.
Within the Boost input, enter a score you want to give a result that matches a phrase. The Higher the score the higher in a results list it will appear. You can only boost one AND query type.
When you have added an OR query you can add a Boost score and Minimum Matching Terms (%) for this.
Within the Boost input, enter a score you want to give a result that matches a phrase. The Higher the score the higher in a results list it will appear.
Within the Minimum Matching Terms (%) input, enter the percentage of a search queries terms that must be in the content, file name or metadata to get the boost.
The Slop is calculated by the Slop Percentage and the number of words in a query excluding words like "and", "the", and "it".
Create Phrase boosts with varying Slop percentages and boosts. You can have a higher boost for a query with less "Slop" and vice versa.
The Minimum Matching Terms Percentage can be assigned for an OR query type. It is the percentage of a search queries terms that must be in the content, file name or metadata before it is shown in the results.
If a result matches a boost layer a "score" is attributed to that result. The higher the "score" the higher up the results list it will appear.
