How listings are ranked in Search Function

🔍TL;DR: What’s New with Search on Partner Fleet
We’ve rolled out a major upgrade to how search works across Partner Fleet-powered marketplaces! Here’s what you need to know:

• More Accurate Results: When you search for something like “Salesforce,” you’ll now get Salesforce first — not a long list of unrelated partners.
• Typos Welcome: Search is now tolerant to spelling mistakes. “Chorome” will still find “Chrome.”
• Smarter Ranking: Listings with more complete content show up higher — good reason to keep your listing fresh and filled out!
• Faster Load Times: Page and filter speeds have improved significantly.
• More Filters, Better Matches: The search now incorporates advanced filtering, like tagline-specific or category-based queries.
• AI-Powered Search Coming Soon: Our new Elastic Search framework sets the stage for smarter, more contextual results powered by AI in the future.

Why This Matters
Previously, customers and partners reported confusing search results — like seeing unrelated listings rank higher than the one they actually searched for. This update resolves that by ensuring relevance is prioritized, without limiting discoverability.

What You Can Do
1. Review Your Listings: More complete listings now rank higher. Ensure your sections (tagline, description, categories, features, etc.) are filled out.

2. Educate Your Partners: Encourage partners to optimize listings to benefit from improved search ranking.

3. Refer to the Full Elastic Search Guide (attached PDF) for technical details and performance benchmarks.
