  • Publication number: 20240095774
    Abstract: A search engine coupled to a database of product information is provided a search query having a datapoint and the search engine uses at least the datapoint to generate a search result. A vendor system associated with the search engine subsequently uses one or more interactions with the generated search result to update a conversion value that is linked within a datastore of the vendor system to the datapoint. When it is determined by the vendor system that the updated conversion value that is linked within the datastore to the datapoint was caused to exceed a predetermined threshold value, the vendor system causes a notification to be sent to one or more consumers that previously provided the datapoint for use in a search by the search engine.
