Changelog: September 2025

API

Added

• Merchandising: Added support for targeting specific search terms. This allows you to target a specific search term (e.g., when a user searches for "iPhone").
• Search: Improved combined-word matching when either of the searched-for words was misspelled. For example, searching for "light hause" now correctly returns "lighthouse" matches.

Changed

• Search: Improved fuzzy matching so fields no longer needs to be "predictable" to find matches; it now works equally well if the field is predictable or not.

Fixed

• Merchandising: Fixed a bug with Pin Rules that caused an error when the pin position was greater than the number of recommendations.

My Relewise

Added

• [Search Overview] Added batch size to the "Batched request" label in Live Overviews, making unintentional single-item batches obvious at a glance.
• [Search Overview] Added Product Result Score next to product search results. This is visible only when the search request is configured to return this data.
• Merchandising: Added support for targeting rules by specific search terms. For example, you can boost iPhones when searching for phones. Available here.

Changed

• Search Configuration Modals: Redesigned modal components to adopt the new design, improving visual consistency, spacing, and accessibility across modals.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where the left navigation did not highlight the active Apps item (for example, Email) when viewing an app within a dataset.
• Fixed an issue where loading Products and Variants could fail in some cases due to large data payloads. This was resolved by loading Product Details and Variant Details separately.
