Test stop word relevance

This is for:

Developer System Administrator

You can take advantage of usage analytics reports to evaluate if a term should be added as a stop word. You can look for keywords with the lowest Relevance Index metric to identify potential stop word candidates.

Test the relevance of your stop words

  1. On the Reports (platform-ca | platform-eu | platform-au) page, click the Search Relevance explorer, and then click Open in the Action bar.

  2. In the Search Relevance explorer:

    1. Sort the report on increasing Relevance Index metric values.

    2. Review the keywords with the lowest Relevance Index metric values while looking for stop words.

    3. To test a specific stop word relevance, add a dimension filter on Keyword is [your stop word].

    4. When a keyword Relevance Index metric value is below 0.5:

      1. Consider adding it to a Stop Words rule (see Manage stop word rules).

      2. A few days later, ensure that the Relevance Index value for the stop word has improved. If not, we recommend that you remove the word from the rule.

Note

The Search Relevance pre-configured explorer can be modified or deleted by a member with the required privileges. Consequently, the explorers may be missing or modified in your Coveo organization. You can recreate default pre-configured explorers (see Add explorers).
