Creating a query pipeline in Coveo and applying it to the Sitecore search

Coveo's query pipeline is a strong feature that lets consumers improve and personalize their search experience. Before the search results are delivered, a user's query is subjected to a series of processing processes. Before the user's query is processed and the search results are shown, a series of processing stages are implemented. Query rewriting, query expansion, and result ranking are some of these components.

One method to increase the relevancy of the search results is query rewriting, which involves changing the user's query. Spell checking, stemming, and even synonym expansion may be used. In order to provide more accurate search results, the pipeline rewrites the query to ensure that the user's intent is appropriately recorded.

Query expansion is yet another crucial pipeline element. In order to improve the likelihood of obtaining pertinent results, it broadens the user's query by include synonyms or similar phrases. This is particularly helpful when handling unclear questions or when the user's query does not correspond with the vocabulary used in the indexed information.

The order in which the user sees the search results is determined by Result Ranking. Relevance, popularity, recentness and boosting are just a few of the variables that the pipeline considers while ranking the results to determine which one best suits the needs of the user.

The example that follows will show you how to set up a query pipeline in coveo.

• Navigate to the Coveo Administration Console and select Query Pipeline from the left-hand Search menu. The list of query pipelines created in Coveo is displayed here as shown below.

• Click Add Pipeline, input the pipeline name, and choose the use case to add a new pipeline.

• If required, we may additionally add a Condition and an Interface URL to obtain more relevant search results.

• Next, click the "Add pipeline" button to start creating a new pipeline.

• If necessary, we may add a rule to the query pipeline depending on sitecore items, paths, and templates.
• To add a Rule, Select the pipeline and Click on Edit Component.
• Go to Advanced Tab -> Click Add Rule.

• Now, Go to Sitecore and Navigate to your Coveo Search Interface and set the Query Pipeline name.

• Next, Go to Sitecore Control Panel -> Indexing Manager and do index.
• Now, your search page will use the new Query pipeline.

By leveraging the query pipeline in Coveo, organizations may significantly enhance their consumers' search experiences. Enhancing user happiness and productivity is the end outcome of providing users with more control over the search process and presenting them with the most relevant results.
