How can I track the effectiveness of a rule?

There are currently no analytics provided for Rules. However, there are a few workarounds you can implement to start tracking queries where certain rules are applied.

Using ruleContexts and analyticsTags

• Set a Rule Context as a condition on a rule
• At query time, send this ruleContexts in your request, along with an equivalent analyticsTag in the query parameters
• You can then use the analyticsTag in Analytics to segment and analyse searches where the corresponding ruleContexts was triggered
• More info on using rule contexts can be found here

Setting query parameter using Manual Rules

• If creating Manual Rules, use the "add query parameter" consequence to add an analyticsTag as a query parameter
• You can then identify queries where these manual rules by filtering by the analyticsTag in Analytics

Use A/B Testing to compare the effectiveness of a rule

• Create a standard replica index of your main index
• Configure the same ranking and sorting settings on both indices while applying the different rules you wish to test on each
• Set your main index as your control index (Variant A) and the replica as Variant B
