Search is only data-driven if tracking is right: four must-collect events, timing, dedup, zero-result and rewrite tracking, and log-to-dashboard flows.
Enterprise search-recommendation is entering its fourth generation: rules, ML ranking, vectors, and LLM agents. We cover six trends and three moves to prepare.
Search-recommendation systems win on feedback, not models. We cover signal weights, bias correction, three update cadences, and a flywheel health check.
Can't find it? The right result often never entered the pool. Seven recall moves: understanding, synonyms, multi-path recall, vector fill-in, field coverage.

Enterprise search turns scattered needs into one pipeline, one query service, one permission system. Covers architecture, hybrid retrieval, and reranking.
Search and CRO are one funnel: visibility decides volume, conversion decides value. This guide maps intent to page types and lists on-site search levers.
