Result ranking table reference

In the Result Ranking tab of a query pipeline configuration, you can inspect the table to review information on the created result ranking rules.

Modifier (Result Ranking)

This column is filled differently depending on the rule you’re inspecting:

  • If the rule is a featured result rule, the Modifier column reads Featured.

  • If the rule is a ranking expression rule, the Modifier column is filled with the actual modifier selected when creating the rule (for example, +500).

Rule name

This column is filled with the name of the rule.

Query

This column is filled with the query expression that triggers the rule (for example, If query is video game).

Condition

This column is filled with the query pipeline condition that must be met for the rule to execute.

Details

You can verify who created or last modified a given result ranking rule by inspecting the Details column. The Details column also indicates the hour and date the rule was created or last modified.
