Query taxonomy

Compare searches that try to solve the same kind of problem.

A total average hides differences between SKU-search, brand questions, category questions and natural language.

SKU and identifiers

Exactness and standardization are central.

Brand and product name

Protect well-known entities from too broad interpretation.

Category and attribute

Measure whether filters and product data support the intention.

Long-tail

Use context and semantic matching without ignoring hard constraints.

Problem queries

Save zero-result searches, bad CTR and many reformulations as separate groups.
