Step 1: Run a Test Query
Overview
Out of the box, you’ll have a search experience ready to be optimized for your brand. After this step, you’ll be able to run search queries and see the results that are returned.
Running a Test Query
First, click on Search in the navigation bar. The first option you’ll see under Search is the Overview screen.
Once you’re live, you’ll be able to use this screen to quickly gauge the performance of your search. For now, click on All Search Experiences in the navigation bar.
Click on View Experience next to your desired Search experience (or just select your chosen experience straight from the navigation bar).
You’re now at the control center for your Search backend experience!
Click into the search bar in the center of the screen. You’ll see a few prompts, referred to as hardcoded prompts. These help guide your users to understand what kind of content they can search for. Click on one of these prompts, and see the relevant entities appear in the results.
Notice that as you click on the hardcoded prompts, or enter searches of your own, the data returned is our sample set of entities. In the next few steps, you’ll learn how to customize this data to represent your brand.
