At a Glance

Term	Definition/Example
Search Revenue	When a customer interacts with Smart Search and adds an item to the cart, the revenue generated from that purchase is attributed to Smart Search. This means that any item added to the cart directly from the search results page, quick view, or from the product detail page (PDP) after using search will count towards Smart Search RGR. Example Scenario: Customer Searches: The customer enters "tee" into the search bar. Search Results: The customer clicks on the "blue tee" product in the search results. Adding to Cart: The customer adds the "blue tee" product to the cart. Attribution: Rebuy adds hidden line item properties to capture the Smart Search attribution and the source from where the item was added to the cart (Quick View, Results Page, Product Page). When the "blue tee" is purchased, the revenue generated from that purchase is attributed to Smart Search
# of Searches	# searches all customers made Each search per customer counts as 1 If user A searches for “tee” and then “ball”, that would count as 2 searches
Sessions with Search	% of sessions searching If user A searches for “tee” and then “ball”, and user B searches for “tee”, that would count as 2 sessions If there were 100 total search sessions, the % of sessions with search would be 2%

Note: The Search Dashboard is powered by analytic events, which depend on the client browser sending tracking data. This can occasionally lead to incomplete data if events aren’t sent reliably. In contrast, the Widget Report uses line item attribution for search, ensuring 100% accuracy. Due to this, always rely on the revenue tracking on the Widget Report.
