In-Product Search Feedback

The search box graded: found it, phrasing tried, and the dead-end queries.

4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

Product search fails in the user's phrasing, not the index. This feedback captures the encounter: what they searched in their words, whether the result surfaced, phrasings retried, and the dead-end queries – the synonym and concept map your search needs and your analytics only hint at.

A month of tried-these-words answers builds the alias table that fixes most not-found complaints without touching the engine.

Opens in the Light theme, or in your own default theme if you have set one — change it anytime to any of the 4 built-in looks, or build your own on a paid plan.
