Copy rules between indexes to a different search query
At Constructor, we are constantly looking for ways to make it easier for merchandisers to manage their e-commerce business and drive results. However, multi-index customers with operations in different regions and languages face the challenge of ensuring consistency in their merchandising strategy across all of their indexes. Recreating the same rules is cumbersome and time-consuming. That's why we have the Granular Rule Copying feature, and today, we are updating it to support copying rules to different search query pages in the target index.
Previously, if the query spelling in the target index was different from the source index — which often happens in the case of different languages— merchandisers were unable to copy rules between queries. This meant they often had to manually adjust rules for each region, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for a unified merchandising strategy.
With this update, merchandisers can now copy manual and/or automatic rules from one query in a source index to a different query in a target index, even if the spelling of the queries differs. This helps you maintain a consistent merchandising strategy across multiple regions without the need to manually replicate rules in different languages.
Here are the steps to access the feature:
- Select Workspace in the side menu of the Constructor dashboard, then select Searchandising.
- Choose Search & Autosuggest at the top of the listing page.
- Locate the rule, then select the three-dot icon on the far right of the rule row.
- Select the copy (middle) icon from the options displayed.
- On the pop-up, specify new query, rule types, and target index(es).
- Select Continue in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up.
- Review the target indexes listed on the following page, then select Start in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up.
