SAP Ariba Spot Buy Catalog adopts an enhanced search engine, Search 3.0, to provide better search experience to users by presenting highly relevant catalog search results.

Search 3.0

Search 3.0 is a state-of-the-art semantic search engine that brings the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) with high quality search experience for SAP Ariba solutions. It is powered by machine learning models that learn and become smarter over time. Search 3.0 not only accommodates the current machine learning innovations but can also accommodate future ones in a most scalable way.

What to expect when Search 3.0 is deployed in your site?

The improvements to catalog search may not be evident from day one, as Search 3.0 is built to learn and get smarter over time by analyzing user access data(or clickstream data). The data generated from the user behavior which makes the search smarter, accumulates over time to impact the search performance. The machine learning models tailored to understand the patterns of such data influence relevance ranking to present highly relevant search result to users.

Search 3.0 adoption will be enabled for different regions in different phases.
