What happened
Wickes, a UK home improvement retailer, ran a proof of concept of Bloomreach's Loomi autonomous search (search+) to better interpret complex, specification-heavy site queries and reduce manual tuning of long-tail searches. After validating it against its existing search, it expanded search+ to all site traffic.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Bloomreach and Wickes, not ours.
- 76%“76% reduction in failed searches, significantly improving the search experience”
- 3%“3% uplift in conversion rate (vs. control), driven by more relevant results”
Following the rollout of search+, Wickes improved how customers move from searching for individual items to completing larger purchases.
Loomi search+ has built on our approach to product discovery and made it even more effective. Customers can find exactly what they need faster, and it’s helped us drive stronger conversion and RPV while giving the team more time to focus on bigger-picture improvements.
