These settings combine best practices with your input and are tailored to your needs. To achieve high-quality results, we typically perform the following during basic configuration: * Optimize your top search terms * Set field weights (which fields are most relevant for results) * Configure at least two best‑practice ranking rules * Set up best‑practice campaigns * Configure thesaurus, blacklist, and synonym basics ## Prepare for configuration As the product experts, you can assess whether a search result is of high quality or requires refinement. We rely on your input to achieve relevant results. Ideally, please provide the following to set up the basic configuration: **Your top 50 search terms** * Examples: product names, brand names, long‑tail keywords * Exclude article or ID numbers *** **Your most important business rules** * For example: private‑label products to promote, sale items to highlight *** **Further details relevant for search results, e.g.:** * List of synonyms * Redirects for certain search terms * Other items specific to your domain Once the basic configuration is established, one of our Business Consultants will provide an overview of the settings and discuss the results with you. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/docs/getting-started-guide/configuration.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
