### Help Getting Started

For questions or help getting started, reach out to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or join us in the `#ubi` channel of the [Relevance Slack workspace](https://opensourceconnections.com/slack) and we will be glad to help!

## Purpose and Goals

Many Search teams struggle with understanding "Why is my user doing this". They have great understanding of an incoming query and the documents returned, but no ability to connect that dot with an indicator of success, such as a click through event or add to cart event.

There are A LOT of tools out there for tracking events, Google Analytics, Snowplow, etc, but each is a bit different, and each tends to lock you in. None of them think about the needs of Search teams specifically either.

The User Behavior Insights [standard](standard.md) attempts to provide a search focused standard that can operate across many platforms. We currently have [plugins](https://www.ubisearch.dev/tools/) for OpenSearch, Elasticsearch and Solr, but we hope that many other search platforms adopt UBI - [get in touch](mailto:[email protected]) if you'd like to help.

Once you have this tracking data, you can potentially use it to:

* develop a deeper understanding of what your users are doing
* create search relevance metrics
* tune search parameters automatically
* balance between different approaches to search (e.g. lexical and/or semantic)

## Reference Implementation

A full reference implementation using OpenSearch is available at [chorus-opensearch-edition](https://github.com/o19s/chorus-opensearch-edition). Check out the [Quick Start](quickstart.md) for details on getting up and running with an example environment.
