Getting Started with Experiments
When making changes to a query pipeline or query parameters that will affect users' search experience, it is often a good idea to run an experiment in order to verify that the results are what you intended. Fusion lets you create and run experiments that take care of dividing traffic between variants and calculating the results of each variant with respect to configurable objectives such as purchases, click-through rate, or search relevance.
There are two ways that a search application might interact with an experiment:
-
Preferred: Using a query profile
-
Alternative: Using an Experiment query pipeline stage
This guide takes you through the process of planning, setting up, running, and analyzing an experiment.
