Appearance
Changelog: January 2025
API
Added
Added additional metadata to the response when a Search Index is being rebuilt. This can be used to gain insight into the recent changes that have been applied to the search index.
Improved multi-word predictions by further using statistical data to determine the best stemmed version of a word to use in a given context.
Retail Media: Introduced BidRelativeProbability promotion computation strategy. It calculates each campaign’s time window by comparing its bid size with other active campaigns, so each campaign’s time window is proportional to its bid.
Search Highlight is now released. This feature allows you to return an overview of why a specific search request returned the results that it did.
Changed
- Relewise.Client NuGet Package now contains more information and a link on how to get started.
Fixed
- Fixed a bug in our optimization layer that would not trigger updates when active/disabled state changed for the
ClearAndReplaceProductUpdate Kind. - Fixed a bug in search results where variant matches were prioritized over product-only matches, even when the variant matches were less relevant.
- Fixed a bug in the multi-word prediction handler that would cause an error during evaluation. We have added safeguards in the relevant areas to ensure that similar issues won’t reoccur.
- Fixed an error that occurred when an EqualsCondition was used without a value.
- Fixed an issue where categories that were automatically deleted after being disabled for a long period of time would not be removed from products and content, which left empty category paths on those entities.
- Setting
ExplodeVariants=0in the ProductSearchRequest settings no longer returns a VariantResult.
My Relewise
Added
- Added client-side validation to search index languages to help users identify what might be wrong with the values in the configuration.
- Added the option to only include approved or unapproved synonyms when exporting.
- Added validation messages to the input fields, which display why a field might be invalid. This will help users identify what is required of the value they input into a given field.
- Front Page: Added a link to our changelog.
- Merchandising: Added support for the "Product has variants" filter.
Changed
- New and improved input validations for synonyms now help users create rules that follow the logic of the API. Rules cannot contain special characters except
/or-provided they are surrounded by numbers. E.g.,1/2would be valid whilea/bwouldn't be.
Fixed
- Fixed a bug where having selected a filter option on a merchandising rule could cause the page to display no rules when navigating back to the Merchandising overview page.
- Fixed a bug where the input validation refused to confirm passwords for MyRelewise users.
- Fixed a bug where updating a search index would not update the raw JSON immediately, but require a refresh of the page.
- Retail Media - Campaigns Performance: Added a missing "back-to-overview" button, to align with the details-tab.
Integration
Added
- Java SDK: Added support for the search highlighting feature.
- JS SDK: Added the option to include disabled variants in the
ProductHasVariantsFilter. - JS SDK: We now include snippets in search highlight results.
Changed
- Demo Shop: Reduced the number of popular category recommendation on the front page. This will make it more easy to demo product recommendations.
- Demo Shop: We now keep the context switcher open when making changes to the context, to give a more smooth demo experience.
Fixed
- Demo Shop: Fixed an issue where the "On Sale" recommendation header was being shown even when the recommendation was empty.
- Demo Shop: The Retail Media products on the category page rendered to the right of the results would always be rendered outside the viewport and cause overflow.
- Shopify: Fixed an issue where webhooks would sometimes send line items without any product ID on one or more line items.
