# Search signals

Search stores signal data from user searches. The aggregated signal data helps improve search result relevancy in your system.

Signals record details of user searches, search refinements, and interactions with search results.

AI Search machine learning relevancy analyzes aggregated signal data and automatically tunes search relevancy scoring to reflect user behavior patterns. This tuning helps improve result relevancy for search users.
