Progressive ranking is an AddSearch feature powered by AI based machine learning algorithms which enhances search results dynamically in real time. AddSearch leverages the power of AI and runs a progressive ranking algorithm continuously, using the query and the clickthrough rate of the results and making progressive improvements by boosting high-demand results.

Commonly clicked search results for the same keywords can vary depending on context. For example, when a user searches for men’s shoes, they’re more likely to click on sneakers in the summer as opposed to boots in winter. Attempting to manually re-order product categories or use pinned results to address changing expectations can be time-consuming. In this example, the Progressive Ranking tool can provide an easier way to update your search to address changing trends.
