The Playground is the section where you can test your search engine to see the results and assess the configuration settings for your product feed. It is located in your Admin Panel under Search Engines > Playground.
By default, on accessing the playground catalogue, a match_all
query type is displayed listing all products in your data feed.
In the search bar, you can search for a specific product and view its automatic data booster score, its manual booster score and its final score. Whenever you make a change in your boosting section, you can come to the playground area to check how that change affects the product.
In case you have configured a Banner, Search Suggestions, Custom Results and Synonyms for a product, and (or) a category of products, this too will be displayed when you search for the product(s) on the Playground’s search bar.
To display product information, simply click on the “+” symbol.
