Search Personalization

Search Personalization adapts ranking or discovery to relevant context, for example market, device, session behavior or customer segment.

Context above profile

Language, market, active filters and current session can already give useful signals without a comprehensive individual profile.

Query intent continues to lead

A clear search demand and strong product match should outweigh weak assumptions from previous behaviour.

Data minimization

Only use data that is necessary for the chosen purpose and tailor implementation to privacy and governance agreements.

Measure incremental value

Compare with an appropriate baseline or control group to determine whether personalization really delivers better results.
