Redirects

Redirects allow you to directly tailor search terms for enhanced accuracy. In SPARQUE Hub, you can manage your redirect sets. A redirect set consists of a word that links a specific keyword to a predefined URL. For example, “shipping": If a user searches for “shipping”, the search responds with the configured URL.

Redirect sets are always contained in redirect lists, which act as the foundation for organizing and managing them. Depending on your needs, you can create one or multiple lists. Without a list, it is not possible to create or store redirect sets.

Configuring Redirects

To configure your redirects, navigate to SPARQUE Hub | Search | Redirects.

Creating a Redirect List

To create a redirect list:

  1. Click Add redirect list.
  2. Provide the list with a descriptive name.
  3. Click Save redirect list.

Once done, a pipeline with mapping is created in SPARQUE Desk within the dataset “HUB”. In the list overview, you see the pipeline identifier where the redirect list is created. It is possible to copy the URL and use the list within other datasets as well.

Deleting a Redirect List

To delete a redirect list:

  1. Click Delete.
  2. Click Yes, I’m sure.

After completion, the URL in the pipeline identifier is removed, and the list including the redirect sets is deleted.

Adding a Redirect Set

To add a redirect set:

  1. Click Edit in your redirect list overview.
  2. Click Add new redirect set or edit an existing one.
  3. Enter a new word and click on Add redirect.

Deleting a Redirect Set

To delete a redirect set:

  1. Click Edit in your redirect list overview.
  2. Click Delete in the row of the redirect set.

Importing Sets

To import sets:

  1. Click Import sets.
  2. Click Download template file.
  3. Change the records for each row.
  4. Save the file locally.
  5. Upload the file.
  6. Click Import.

Dataset in SPARQUE

Each redirect set will be stored in SPARQUE Desk. For each set, an object will be created. Each object has a unique identifier with baseWord and redirectUrl as attribute. This object can be used in the SPARQUE strategies.

Using Labels

Within each redirect set, you can set a label. This can be useful to manage multiple redirect sets within one list for multiple channels.
