On the search results page, the SearchImprove administrator has the possibility to use a set of tools to get information as to why a particular search term produces the results it does.
To use this set of tools you can either enter&show=edit after the URL of the current search, or you can use the SearchImprove bookmark which makes this automatic.
The SearchImprove bookmark is located in the edit profile section and can be saved to your favourites folder.
After either entering the additional text after the URL or clicking on the bookmark, you can use your SiteImprove user name and password to log in.
You will now see the search results page as before, but now with a series of icons for each result.
The icons have the following meanings and/or functions:
