Index
No results may mean unknown codes, different spelling or products outside the catalog. Empty screens strand buyers and fail to teach teams about demand. Review these situations separately.
Choose the operating model before requesting a quote
Compare controlled suggestions for known terms with specialist handoff. Uncontrolled suggestions may offer technically incompatible products; generic handoffs lose the search term. Preserve context and explain when an alternative is only a candidate for assessment.
Unsuccessful search terms may contain accidentally entered information. Reports need appropriate access and review before influencing public content. Do not automatically publish every query as a new page: teams should assess genuine demand and whether a commercial answer can actually be offered rather than fabricating catalog relevance.
Requirements to include in the proposal
- Preserve the original search term in contact and commercial-request paths
- Explain alternatives without confusing suggestions with verified technical compatibility
- Provide reviewable reports of unsuccessful searches for the catalog team
An acceptance test for this specific purchase
Search a hypothetical old code and a term with no match. The first may lead to historical information; the second should allow help requests carrying the recorded search without inventing products to fill the screen.
