Relevance Requirement for Zendesk Search Results
What is the relevance requirement for Zendesk search results?
Zendesk search requires a 2/3 match of search terms to the article content for it to appear in the results. This means that if more than 1/3 of the search terms are missing from your article, it might not be shown.
To improve the chances of your article appearing, ensure that the content, title, and labels closely match the common search terms used by your audience. Regularly reviewing and updating your articles to align with user search behavior can help improve their visibility.
