The SearchStax Site Search solution’s Relevance Models let you change the behavior of searches on your site. They determine which index fields will be included in keyword matching, and how much a match in each field will affect the relevance score. They allow you to set parameters regarding which types of results will appear for different keywords based on their relevance level; this ensures that you’re delivering content across your search results page that resonates with visitor intent. It also ensures that the top of the search results page will have the most accurate items.

The Relevance Modeling screen displays a list of current relevance models. You may open one to modify it, or click the Create a Model button. 

If you create a new model, you’ll need to enter a unique model name.

Either selecting a model or creating one will take you to the Model Details screen.

The default model is the one that the Search Preview page opens to. Only one model can be the default.
