One of our motivating goals at Constructor is to give customers superpowers. Ranking out of the box should optimize for customer business metrics like RPV and conversion, and when customer product or merchant teams want to adjust ranking for business goals, the experience should be delightful. 

We've recently released two new features to improve the searchandizing experience: Search-in-searchandizing and improved numeric range selection.

Search-in-searchandizing

Customers may want to boost the ranking of owned (store) brands, or prioritize healthier food to align with brand objectives. 

Previously this could be frustrating when the number of categories or facet options climbed into the hundreds (or thousands). Now, our search will allow merchant and product teams to search for the right option, whether in search, browse, collections or global searchandizing contexts!

Numeric range selection

Searchandizing range values can be extremely powerful, especially when paired with the ability to define hidden or protected facets shown to admin users, but not to other users. This allows prioritizing clearance of high inventory items, optimizing for margin or newer products. 

With our new range selection UX, it is now possible to make fine grained and specific extents for searchandizing, as well as allowing explicit selection of all values above or below a given point, as well as setting thresholds even if products on the page don't currently have a given value (such as when the product with greatest inventory is 100, but the goal is to boost products only once they have 1,000 items in inventory). The new selection UX is available in Search, Browse, Collections and Global Searchandizing!
