Global Rank is used on non-SPR (custom) products to affect search rankings. This changes the order in which they show up in search results, but also causes all custom products to appear before managed products in relevant searches.

10 primary keywords are supported for search items in Etilize. Product name and description are also added for search purposes. Earlier keywords have more of an effect than later keywords. Keywords 1 - 9 are added from the product keywords field, delimited by ", ".

For example, a product with these keywords:
paper, printer paper, multipurpose, office supplies, high quality printing paper

Would then have these keywords assigned:

1. paper
2. printer paper
3. multipurpose
4. office supplies
5. high quality printing paper

Any keywords past 9 are not added to Etilize.

Whether or not a product belongs to the most relevant category also factors in determining the order of the search results.

The Etilize search determines the most relevant category depending on the categories of the top 5 products returned in the search results.

The first SPR managed category that is assigned to a product will be used search purposes. So custom categories can be assigned but will have no effect on search ranking. If a product has no categories assigned, it will be assigned to a Miscellaneous category that typically ranks lower in search.

1. Etilize has two options for applying a custom search sorting, the first one, where it takes the most relevant products to the search, and then applies your custom sort order (determined by your global rank like we mentioned before), and then finally applies a default SPR-determined sort order. This is the default.
2. The second option takes all products that are even vaguely related to the search, and then sorts it literally by your custom sort order (the global rank). This is enabled by checking the "Use Force Rank" option.

Etilize updates daily, so changes to search items may not be reflected immediately on your Logicblock site.
