Acceptance

Define in advance when search is ready for production.

Acceptance prevents live gang from being based on a few manual search tests. Use fixed criteria for functionality, quality and tracking.

Query quality

Check top queries, long-tail, SKUs, brands, typos and natural search queries.

Test facets, combinations, remove filters and mobile operation.

Check search events, product clicks and order events including store ID.

Confirm that recent conversions are only linked to reliable clicks within the same shop.

Test autocomplete and results on representative devices, networks and peak load.

Capture what the storefront does when search is temporarily unavailable.
