Cockpit

Overview

The cockpit allows to check and optimize search results. The following detailed information can be found out and analyzed:

• which search optimizations can be applied for a search term;

• whether rankings or campaigns intervene;

• which facets are transferred to the store.

By entering a search term in the search bar and pressing Enter, FactFinder retrieves relevant results.

Results are listed in a grid. There are also Filters and Toolbar . Detailed description and available functions for the grid and tools are described in chapters below.

Search results grid

• Each pill can be edited directly by clicking on the name.

The number of elements stored for the search term is displayed on the respective icon:

• Score
