Eureka Usage Measurement

Prev Next

For Eureka, pricing is based on usage. The following sections explain how usage is calculated for each type of operation.

Search Usage

If the "search as you type" (or "instant search") method is used, this is how Eureka Search Pop-up works: each keystroke triggers a search operation and displays new results. Therefore, for instant search:

  • Each keystroke

  • Facet click

  • Pagination click

  • Sorting

counts as one usage.

For example, if a user types 'p-h-o-n-e' in the search bar, views the results, clicks on a color facet, and then navigates to the 2nd page, the total usage would be 5 (keystrokes) + 1 (facet click) + 1 (pagination) = 7.

If you use the Search API for the search results page and the configuration requires typing all search terms followed by pressing Enter or clicking the Search icon to trigger the search operation, then:

  • Each search term

  • Each facet, pagination, or sorting action

counts as one usage.

Category Usage

If you use the Category API of Eureka for sorting and merchandising the category (PLP) pages, the usage is calculated as follows:

  • Each Category (PLP) Click

  • Facet Click

  • Sorting Click

  • Pagination

counts as one usage.

For example, a user clicks Men’s Shoes in the category list, sees the products in the selected category, clicks the size facet, and then clicks the 2nd page. The total usage is 1+1+1=3

Suggestion Usage

If you use Autocomplete Search Suggestions, the suggested terms in the autocompletion pop-up change after each keystroke in the search bar. Therefore, the suggestion usage is determined by the number of keystrokes. For autocomplete search suggestions, the total usage is calculated as the number of keystrokes multiplied by 0.2 (Number of keystrokes * 0.2).

For example, if a user types “p-h-o-n-e” in the search bar, its suggestion usage is 5 * 0.2 = 1

Total Usage

Your total Eureka usage is the sum of Search, Category, and Suggestion usage.

If a user does not use any of the functions listed above, its impact on the total usage will be zero.
