Summary
This page contains the technical specifications for the Server-side product indexing and search task of the Project:Personalized_Search project.
It lists the options we are considering and the one we choose.
Server-side sort order pre-computation
The current API returns results sorted by last modified date.
For the Personalized Search project, we will pre-compute for each product a query independent sort key based on:
- data completeness: how much key data we have for the product
- data quality: how confident we are that the data is correct and up-to-date
- product quality: how high is the overall quality of the product (e.g. nutritional quality)
- product popularity: how popular the product is
The search API will return a large number of products (e.g. 100 products) that match the query and order them with this pre-computed key.
