Fuse uses ‘Engine Scoring’ to measure how relevant our search engine is. Essentially, if every time a user performed a search, they found the content they needed in the first position in the search results, then we would have a perfectly relevant search engine.
Fuse records every search query and the position of the content the user clicked on for that search. For example, I search for ‘Spring Release 2022’ and click on the 2nd result in the search results.
We measure this interaction at scale (a minimum of 10,000 queries and clicks) to generate an engine score.
The table below shows the number of clicks in each result position on the first page.
