Progressive Ranking
Progressive Ranking is an AddSearch feature that uses AI-powered machine learning algorithms to improve your search results dynamically in real time. It continuously analyzes search queries and clickthrough rates, boosting results with higher user demand to deliver more relevant search outcomes.
For example, user preferences for "men's shoes" may vary by season: sneakers in summer and boots in winter. Instead of manually updating rankings or pinning results, Progressive Ranking automatically adapts your search results to these changing trends.

- An Enable toggle to activate or deactivate the feature.
