The search result order is affected by rankings provided both to properties as well as to property values in the Property Prioritization tab. A visitor who searches on a clothing brand will see a $300 jacket before a $10 t-shirt if the search configuration used organizes search results by price (the property) and places higher priced items (property value) at the top of the list.
Administrators select the properties available for ranking in the Property Prioritization tab from the list of properties indexed by the search engine. If products are indexed, product and SKU properties will be among those you must select. When SKUs are indexed, you can choose SKU properties only.
Selecting Properties
When you choose properties, keep in mind that both the properties and property values may be ranked. The properties you select are visible on all current and future search configurations.
From the Project tab or the Property Prioritization view of the Browse tab, click Create New, and from the dropdown list that displays, click Property Prioritization. To learn how to access these views, see Locating Assets.
The Details pane displays information about the property.
From the Property Name dropdown list, select the property that will influence the order of search results.
The Data Type text box displays the data type used by the property.
Click Create.
The property displays in the Navigation pane.
Removing Properties
When you remove a property, it is no longer visible in the Property Prioritization tab, meaning it is removed from existing search configurations and unavailable to new search configurations. Because you are able to remove properties that are in use (the property has a weighting and/or its values have rankings in a search configuration), be certain that a property is not necessary before you remove it. For removal instructions, see Deleting Assets.
