# Data Feed

![](/files/NJAPS4Ob9oY8uM93n4wU)

> The data feed is a file containing product/content data and is the **foundation of good search**. It enables search optimization.

For FactFinder to display optimal search results, it must be set up with your product/content information.

We need the product data in an ordered structure—the data feed—which will be imported into FactFinder.

> Provide the data feed in CSV format; our consultants will import it.

## Example data feed

In general, the more data FactFinder has available, the better search results can be optimized.

Your data feed should at least contain:

* *Product number*
* *Item number*
* *Title/Name*

Other attributes such as:

* *color*
* *size*
* *brand*
* *price*
* *stock information*
* *description*

also help FactFinder improve search results.

**Ask your Project Manager for an example feed** to see how to structure yours. Learn how to optimize your data feed [here](/docs/import/ff-search-integration-how-to-optimize-your-datafeed.md).

## Data feed analysis

Once you provide the data feed, we analyze its quality and decide which data can be used for which FactFinder modules.

After the analysis, we provide recommendations on how to optimize your data.

* Which feed data can be used for which FactFinder module
* Data quality compared with ideal product feed setup
* Recommendations on missing fields to achieve optimal results

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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/data-feed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
