The talk "Strategies for using alternative queries to mitigate zero results and their application to online marketplaces" took center stage at Haystack EU 2023. The presenters: Jean Silva @wallapop, ex @trivago Working with various programming languages since 2008 and fall in love with the search world in 2014. Jean has worked in different industries such as travel, e-commerce, and classified listings. René Kriegler @OpenSourceConnections Works in search since ~2008 Jean and René shed light on the challenges associated with zero results queries, emphasizing the critical importance of avoiding empty search result lists to enhance user experience and prevent negative business impacts. This issue is particularly pertinent in user-generated content platforms like Wallapop, where the diversity of items and user backgrounds complicates search outcomes. Addressing these challenges, they discussed recent advancements in vector search and the availability of powerful language models for semantic search. While these developments offer potential solutions by ensuring some results are always returned, they also pose usability and computational challenges, especially in platforms with short-lived content. Building upon strategies presented at Haystack US 2019, Jean and René explored approaches to providing users with alternative queries, such as query relaxation and term substitution, leveraging Large Language Models. Additionally, they shared insights from experiments involving simpler query relaxation techniques based on query term statistics. These strategies not only improve user experience but also offer versatile alternatives to vector search, applicable beyond classified ads platforms.
