Definition
Finfo’s Search Term is a field linked to Finfo’s product groups and is used as an alternative search term for the item.
Explanation
The purpose of Finfo’s search term is to improve searchability and make it easier for recipients to find the correct product, even if they search using terms other than the item’s designation or technical terminology.
Finfo’s search term cannot be edited in Finfo One, as it is assigned by Finfo and is not a field managed by the supplier in the interface. The search term is created centrally by Finfo and distributed further to recipients via the API.
The search term is based on the product group to which the item belongs and functions as a complement to other item information. It does not replace the item’s designation or classification, but provides an additional entry point to the product for search, filtering, and categorization.
In practice, Finfo’s search term may contribute to:
-
improved accuracy in recipients’ search functions
-
easier searches using more common or alternative terms
-
a more consistent and structured search logic across different suppliers
Because the field is linked to Finfo’s product groups, consistent and standardized usage is ensured within the product database and in the channels that receive the information.
Usage
The supplier does not enter any information in this field.
Finfo creates the search term when the item is assigned to a product group.
Recipients may use Finfo’s search term as an alternative search keyword in their systems.
