SAN FRANCISCO, March 4, 2025 – Today, Algolia redefines search with a groundbreaking leap forward—introducing a powerful trifecta of AI-powered ranking capabilities. For the first time, businesses will be able to seamlessly integrate multiple unique data signals, optimizing search results for multiple goals at once. 

Traditional Ranking is Not Enough
In a world where every search matters, retailers face a fundamental challenge: delivering the perfect experience whilst driving real business impact. The data exists—deep insights into customer behavior, preferences, and intent as well as diverse data points, including product attributes and business KPIs—but harnessing it to transform search into a true competitive advantage has remained out of reach. 

Ranking isn’t just about relevance; it’s about impact. Users focus on top results, making ranking the key to conversion, engagement, and growth. Algolia’s research confirms what businesses already know—traditional ranking is no longer enough. Competitors optimize for revenue, margin, or forecasts. Algolia will optimize for all of them—simultaneously.

A Smarter, More Strategic Search Experience
Bharat Guruprakash, Chief Product Officer, explains: "Search ranking has long relied on popularity—what worked before determines what ranks next. But relevance isn’t one-dimensional. It’s dynamic, shaped by conversions, user behavior, query intent, and business priorities. No single metric defines success—the real power lies in the right combination of signals."

Introducing the Next Generation of AI Ranking

• Advanced Dynamic Reranking (Available Today) – Increases relevance with real-time freshness and expanded reach. Featuring hourly score refreshes, enhanced re-ranking for relaxed queries, support for multiple browsing facets, and intelligent handling of empty queries—delivering sharper precision and deeper engagement.

• Multi-Signal Ranking (Available Today) – An AI-powered ranking, Multi-Signal Ranking enables businesses to optimize search results with multiple data signals (initially 20). This dynamic, data-driven approach tailors search outcomes to unique business goals, creating a smarter, more responsive search experience.

• Dynamic Reranking for Revenue (Coming Soon) – Gives businesses the flexibility to optimize for either conversions or revenue, ensuring search ranking aligns with strategic objectives for maximum impact.

Guruprakash continues: "Search should be as intelligent as the businesses it serves. Retailers need greater control—a smarter, more intuitive way to fine-tune ranking strategies that reflect their unique goals. By seamlessly blending and balancing multiple signals, we’re building a search experience that doesn’t just react to the past—it actively shapes the future."

Search That Works
Search should do more than deliver results. It should drive strategy and with Algolia, businesses can now:

• Boost High-Margin Products – Merchants can consider Product Margins while preserving popularity.
