Shop Cachehit
If your shop maintains its own cache and search and navigation requests are answered through this cache without forwarding the request to FACT-Finder, then please pass the log event in order to notify FACT-Finder. This is important for correct analyses as well as for modules which are based on search amounts (such as ASO). With this event you are sending the most important basic data of the search result, delivered from your cache.
The log event needs the event, sid, and channel general parameters. The session ID which has to be passed is the ID of the request which was answered by your cache and not the session ID of the request which created the cached search result. Additionally the following parameters must resp. can be passed:
| Parameter | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| query | essential | The search term for which a search was conducted and on which feedback has been provided. |
| page | essential | The number of the search result page on which the selected product was displayed. The first page has the number 1. |
pageSize | essential | The number of products per search result page at the time the click was executed. |
hitCount | essential | The amount of products found in the search result. |
searchTime | essential | The time which was needed to create the search result. |
bestSimi | essential | Similarity of the best product. |
minSimi | essential | Similarity of the last product. |
filter[FELDNAME] | optional | Information about active filters in the search result. This parameter consists of the prefix filter followed by the name of the field on which the filter was applied, such as filterManufacturer. This parameter can be present multiple times because multiple filters can be set in multiple fields. The value of this parameter consists of the respective filter value, with the value being equivalent with the filter value of a search request. Please be aware, that you can set the used characters for and, or and not per channel in the config.xml. The value for this parameter must use the same characters as the filters in your search requests. If, for example, you use ~~~ for or, ___ for and and ! for not, then the following parameter has to be used for a filter which filters red or not blue and yellow: red~~~!blue___yellow. The log event does not differentiate between filters and sub string filters. Please send all active filters through this parameter. |
searchField | optional | The field for which the search was performed in case the search was limited to a specific field. |
customSorting | optional | If the default sorting was not used for the search result, then please send a true. If you do not pass the parameter, then FACT-Finder will assume, that the search result was sorted with the default sorting. |
additionalInfo | optional | You may use this parameter to add something to the log entry, such as to enable searching the log for a specific entry. Hint: Contrary to other tracking events |
