List of conditions that must be met for the result improvement rule to activate. This field disappears if you select Activate on all queries. Select one of the following fields as the subject for your condition:

  • Keywords: Operates on one or more keywords found in the user's search query. For example, a [Keywords] [are] [password] condition is satisfied by searches for How do I change my password or password reset.
  • Query: Operates on the user's full search query. As an example, a [Query] [is] [password reset] condition is satisfied by a search for password reset, but not by a search for password reset steps.
  • User Context: Operates on a user context element from the search user's ServiceNow AI Platform® session. The system displays the source table and field after the user context element name. As an example, a [User Context - Country (sys_user.country)] [is] [Japan] condition is satisfied when the search user's User [sys_user] record has country set to Japan.
