Spring has sprung and summer is hot on its tail.  Now is the time for sundresses and baseball. After a long winter, however, your top selling products are all overcoats and Christmas ornaments.  Features like Machine Learning will push your most popular products to the top of the search results, but what if you want to push products that likely haven’t been purchased in months? You could manually set the product order for your top search terms, but that’s a lot of work and it would only affect specific search terms.  There is a way to accomplish such a task on a global level with almost no maintenance required.  In this article we will show you how to use Global Ranking to automatically promote products and save time and effort.

Technological progress can’t be stopped. Just like horse-drawn carriages are no longer the mode of transportation, the cars we drive today will someday give way to self-driving vehicles. This is the trajectory of every industry, including commerce. It’s easy to see innovation on the horizon.

Celebros is bringing the power of its Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to Elasticsearch database users in a way that helps them directly leverage the power of the data they have, to drive better eCommerce conversions. A new plugin—called Celastic (Celebros + Elastic)—will bridge the gap between shopper queries and extensive Elasticsearch databases, generating better search results and more satisfied shoppers.
