Field-rules, as the name suggests, are the rules that are applied to search queries when the majority of products in the search results match the field rules criteria.

Field rules allow you to show banners and facets when more than 80% of the products satisfy field rule criteria. While facets under Site Rules are displayed for all queries, Field Rules allow you to override the facets defined in site-rule based on product-type/category, etc.

When a query has multiple Field Rules – where more than 80% of retrieved products can map to two different Field Rules – the creation date of Field Rules is considered. Older Field Rules will take precedence over newer Field Rules. While facets under Site Rules are displayed for all queries, Field Rules allow you to override them for queries for certain type/category.

For example, if a field rule is created for ‘Hybrid Cycles’ and when a shopper searches for ‘Cycles’, and 80% of the search results are ‘Hybrid Cycles’, then the ‘Hybrid Cycles’ field rule will be applied.

Field Rules created in Search and Browse are exclusive of each other and will not overlap.

NOTE: In case of conflicts in facet settings, field rules are given preference over site-rules.
