We've enhanced Smart Group workflows in Merchandising Studio’s Visual Editor, enabling streamlined curation across Search, Categories, and Collections. Combine index-level optimization with strategic Smart Group placement in your Compositions - all in connected, intuitive flows and through one visual interface. What's more, you can easily curate individual Groups and gain new explainability insights - for example, into the ranking factors behind them.

A/B testing now supports multi-variant experiments, which saves time and helps customers find their optimal settings, faster. Customers can now test up to five variants (one control and four variants). In addition, A/B testing is introducing an improved UX to help better communicate A/B testing results and make way for the exciting developments we have planned. Customers now start on an overview screen that lists their recent experiments. Clicking into a test gives a full page of results with a detailed breakdown of metrics.

Collections now supports advanced condition logic for more precise dynamic assortments. Previously limited to simple all-AND or all-OR rules, Collections can now combine AND/OR operators within a single definition and include numeric comparisons like "greater than" and "less than". This enables sophisticated groupings such as "Brand is Nike OR Adidas AND Price under £100 AND Rating above 4.5" without manual curation. These enhancements reduce merchandising effort while enabling more targeted product collections that automatically stay current with catalogue changes. 

Users can now view a history of key actions performed through the Algolia Dashboard with the new Activity Logs feature. Accessible via the Audit / Activity Logs page, this release provides visibility into important events such as A/B Test changes, API key updates, ingestion configuration edits, rule modifications, and index setting changes. Activity data is retained for up to 90 days, enabling teams to troubleshoot issues, support internal governance, and maintain compliance with greater ease. This feature is now available to all eligible customers with Dashboard access.

Merchandisers can now search for any product displayed in the Visual Editor using the new Find in results bar, even if the item is initially not visible or in the loaded results. This improvement removes the previous limitation of browser-based search (Command+F), enabling users to locate and act on any result, regardless of its initial position. The searched product is highlighted in its current position (e.g., position 465), allowing users to scroll directly to it for quickly merchandising those products as needed.  A new shortcut (Command+B on Mac, Ctrl+B on Windows) quickly triggers this functionality, improving speed and usability for large merchandising sets. This feature is now available to all customers with access to the Visual Editor.
