An Oracle Commerce Guided Search implementation consists of a back-end instance of the MDEX Engine and data pipeline, the front-end cross-channel Oracle Commerce application, and the infrastructure hosting the components.

Your technical team builds out your implementation. They configure and manage the data pipeline that processes source data into records with associated dimensions and properties. The technical team also writes the code that handles and renders data to create a useable front-end application.

You, as the business user, manage the presentation of data by configuring where it displays and under which conditions. For example, you can define triggers to dynamically spotlight content, as described later in this guide.
