AI Search

Search is the interface.
The index is the infrastructure.

One behavioral index powers search, listings, and category pages — and becomes the ground truth for Synerise Customer Agent. Built into behavioral AI infrastructure end to end: what customers do today reshapes what they find tomorrow.

Explore each search capability — from semantic understanding to visual product discovery.

Semantic Search

Transformer-based query understanding that matches intent — not just keywords. Queries and catalog items share the same 768-dimensional embedding space for conceptual relevance scoring.

Five layers of search intelligence

From semantic understanding to personalized re-ranking — each layer adds precision to every query.

Semantic Vector Search

Queries are embedded into the same behavioral vector space as catalog items using BaseModel.ai representations. Semantic matching retrieves conceptually relevant results — even when exact keyword matches don't exist.

768-dimensional query-item embedding alignment
Handles misspellings, synonyms, and intent variations
Cross-language semantic matching support
Learned relevance from click-through behavior

Personalized Re-Ranking

Search results are re-ranked in real time based on each user's behavioral profile. Two users searching the same query see different result orderings — optimized for their individual purchase probability.

Per-user affinity scores injected into ranking
Session-aware context (device, time, referrer)
Behavioral embedding similarity between user and items
Configurable personalization intensity per query type

Dynamic Faceting & Filtering

Facets are generated dynamically from the result set — not pre-computed. Filter counts update in real time as users narrow their search, ensuring zero dead-end filter combinations.

Real-time facet computation from result sets
Zero dead-end guarantee on all filter combinations
Hierarchical category navigation with counts
Custom attribute facets from any catalog field

Natural Language Query Understanding

An NLU layer parses complex natural language queries into structured intent, entity, and filter components. 'Red dress under $50 for summer' is decomposed into color, category, price, and seasonality signals.

Intent classification across 12 query types
Named entity extraction (brand, color, size, price)
Query expansion with behavioral synonyms
Spell correction and phonetic matching

Merchandising Controls

Business rules overlay algorithmic ranking — pin items, boost brands, bury out-of-stock, and apply promotional rules. Visual merchandising tools let non-technical teams control search results without code.

Pin, boost, bury, and hide rules per query pattern
Promotional slot reservation in result grids
Margin-weighted ranking for profitability optimization
Scheduled merchandising rules for campaigns

Query execution pipeline

Every query traverses five stages — from raw text to personalized, merchandised results — in under 15 milliseconds.

01

Query Processing

Tokenization, spell correction, NLU parsing, intent classification

02

Retrieval

Hybrid BM25 + vector search with configurable fusion weights

03

Scoring

Multi-signal relevance scoring (textual, behavioral, business rules)

04

Re-Ranking

Personalized re-ranking using real-time behavioral embeddings

05

Faceting, deduplication, diversity injection, result decoration

Proof in production

Proven in head-to-head A/B tests

Live-traffic A/B tests on client e-commerce platforms. Baselines anonymized per client agreement; uplifts are relative to each baseline.

01

vs. Native search of a leading commerce platform

Full-funnel A/B test on live traffic; sessions tracked across engagement, conversion, and revenue contribution.

KPI (search sessions)Platform nativeSynerise AI SearchResults
Click-through rate3.42%11.41%+233%
Conversion rate0.61%1.62%+165%
Share of revenue from search—12.85%—

Platform-native search caps engagement and conversion. Behavioral AI ranking compounds both — more clicks, more orders, and a meaningful share of total revenue flowing through search.

02

vs. Best-of-breed SaaS search

Three-way A/B test running ~2 weeks — platform native search, SaaS vendor, and Synerise AI Search — with traffic split across all three variants.

KPI (search sessions)SaaS vendorSynerise AI SearchResults
Zero results ratelower is better~1.8%~1.0%−44%
Core revenueundisclosedundisclosed+5.0%
Ads revenueundisclosedundisclosed+4.6%
Total revenueundisclosedundisclosed+4.99%
Ordersundisclosedundisclosed+5.36%

Against a dedicated SaaS search vendor, Synerise delivered measurably better outcomes across every disclosed KPI — lower zero results rate, higher revenue, more orders.

03

vs. In-house tuned ElasticSearch

15-day A/B test with equal traffic split between tuned ElasticSearch (variant A) and Synerise AI Search (variant B).

KPI (search sessions)Tuned ElasticSearchSynerise AI SearchResults
Zero results ratelower is better~2.7%~0.9%−66% (3× fewer)

Total revenueundisclosedundisclosed+4.2%
Revenue per sessionundisclosedundisclosed+3.7%
Avg. order valueundisclosedundisclosed+4.4%

A well-tuned in-house ElasticSearch is a serious baseline — late-funnel conversion rates were essentially at parity. But behavioral AI ranking unlocked upside the tuned system couldn't: 3× fewer dead-end queries, larger baskets, higher revenue per session. The gap isn't in the known queries — it's in the long tail.

04

vs. Global market leader (e-commerce search)

A/B test on a fashion marketplace across multiple markets measuring purchase conversion in 30-min, 2h and 24h windows after search.

KPI (search sessions)Market leaderSynerise AI SearchResults
Conversion rate (30 min)5.18%6.32%+22%
Conversion rate (24 h)8.16%11.12%+36%
CTR≈ parity≈ parity≈ 0
Zero results ratelower is better≈ parity≈ parity≈ 0

Parity on relevance metrics, decisive wins on conversion — and a +36% relative uplift in the best market (conversion in 24h window). Outcome: full replacement of the incumbent engine across all tested markets.

Zero results rate is a lower-is-better metric: a negative value means fewer searches ending with no products — the intended outcome. All other rows follow the usual direction, where a negative value is a decline against the baseline.

“Match on relevance. Win on conversion.”

Why search matters

Search punches above its weight

Aggregate performance across Synerise AI Search deployments. Quality metrics computed at the query level; engagement and revenue at the search-session level.

KPIAverageBest observed
Zero results rate~4.8%~0.9%
Click-through rate~22.5%~26.7%
Add-to-cart rate (30 min)~9.2%~11.7%
Purchase conversion (30 min)~2.8%~3.5%
Share of sessions using search~9.6%~10.5%
Share of revenue from search~16.7%~29.7%

~10% of sessions generate ~17% of revenue — and up to ~30% in the best-performing deployments. Improvements to search compound disproportionately on the bottom line.
