Strong search starts with the right relevance settings, but it's easy for search configuration to move away from best practices over time.

You can now optimise key search settings with AI Assist, in line with your search goals and Algolia’s best practice. To start, ask AI Assist to “improve my search configuration” and select an existing index. Assist will ask a couple of questions on your industry and search goals, which will tailor its recommendations for the following core search settings: Searchable attributes, Custom ranking, Ranking and Sorting, and Typo Tolerance.

Using Algolia’s best practices, your current index configuration and information on your search goals, Assist will analyse your settings to suggest changes. For any of Assist’s suggestions, you’ll see a clear explanation and details of how your settings will change. Users with the Set-Up Search permission can click to apply all or some of Assist’s changes.

If your index is included in any active A/B tests, you can automatically propagate the same optimisations to other indices. These changes can also be shared with replicas from within Assist. All of Assist’s changes will be tracked in the audit log for your visibility.
