For each target page in the Search Application, you must create feeds for search results and recommendations in Mashup Builder. Afterwards, you can access these either through the Mashup UI or the Mashup API (Access API).
The “Related items” come from a separate recommendations feed that is triggered by certain search results.
Important: Place the Search feed above the Recommendation feed(s), to ensure it is read first.
Configure the search feed
1. In Mashup Builder, open the search application.
2. Go to the target page, and select the Feeds view.
3. Drag a Exalead CloudView Search feed onto the page, if one is not already there.
Make sure this feed is above the recommendation feed(s) on the page.
4. Under Feed settings, select Synchronized.
5. Expand Triggers and drag the Recommendation Trigger to the Exalead CloudView Search feed trigger drop zone.
6. Click Save and then Apply your configuration changes.
Configure the recommendation feed(s)
You can associate multiple recommendation rules to a single Recommendation feed.
Content Recommender evaluates rules first by going to the top-most Recommendation feed, then comparing each rule to the search results in order of rule priority.
