Welcome to the Mirasvit Search Validator!
Validator - our own tool to check the search performance and validate the products search result.
It is useful:
- to know why some products appear upper or lower in the search results or even not appear;
- validate product's autocomplete speed;
- validate product's regular search speed;
It is located at System -> Search Management -> Validator section.
You can validate:

Validate Search Results
Validate search results - Test how quickly a product can be found.
The slow search speed happens due to low loading store page speed, it takes a lot of time to load the resources. Also, it can be related to the cache configuration. In general, search speed can only be improved via a more precise store configuration.
Describe search results weighting - Test why the product is / is not found and what matching attributes are contained in.
