For this task, we will give you queries by users who are looking to visit a local business. These
queries are product or category of products like: "women’s clothing", "shoes", "computers".
Some queries will also contain more specific descriptions, qualities, brands or models, etc. Your
task is to determine how well the result matches the product intent in the query.
Step 1. Consider the intent of the query. When a user enters this query on a search engine,
what are they most likely to expect? Use your own experience as a web user as well, ask
yourself “what would be the result I’d expect with my query?” Users can be imprecise with
their queries, so we must first determine the intent of the query and what they are searching
for. Ignore location and informational keywords in the query ([near me] [downtown] [Boston]
[hours] [ratings]).
Step 1a. Use the information at the bottom of the page in the tab to
determine whether this query has been correctly labeled as a Product query. A Product is a
physical thing you purchase to take with you or have delivered. This includes Specific items (Air
Jordan True Flight), larger categories (shoes), a category of store (shoe store), brand plus
product or category (Nike shoes), and brand names (Nike).
-Any Brand with its own stores that sell only their own product is Product intent, whether they
also sell at other stores or not.
Step 2. Now that we understand the query, you will need to research the business in the Result
to see how well the business matches the intent of the query.
If you are still blocked, try entering the query in a browser window of your own (sometimes a
different incognito window helps as well). The window shows results from the “ Issued from”
location. If you do your own search, it may help to enter that location so you can see similar
results. Alternatively, if the window on the right side consistently does not load, you may click
the dropdown menu and change the default browser to Bing, which may help you see search
engine results.
Remember, we do not consider location for match quality, only to give us a better idea of what
the user may be looking for.
To help you make the decision about the result, we have given you questions about the query
and the business in the answer:
2. Authorized Dealer This category is ONLY for New vehicles. Cars, trucks, industrial vehicles,
farm equipment, campers/trailers (includes tow-behind style), ATVs, snowmobiles, etc. The
Store name may not include the brand name, but if the result is a dealer of that brand of
vehicle or camper, it qualifies for this rating
Queries that are car brands with no other clues, and the result does not sell cars, but does sell
other items of that brand.
• [Honda] and result is a business that sells Honda Power Equipment, Honda Lawn
mowers, etc.
Meets the full interpretation of the query but only offers used products, when the user didn’t
specify used
• [cars] and the result is a car reseller or used car dealer
4. Does not have brand / Has Brand but does not have Product specified / Is not the store
specified
The result does not have the brand or branded product in the query
▪ [Nike shoes] and result does not carry Nike products, or only carries Nike hats
If the query is for Brand + other store, the result is not the store named in the query
▪ [Nike shoes Nordstrom] and result Footlocker carries Nike but is not the right store as
Nike is the product brand, not the store in this case.
The query specifies “Used” and the result only carries new products. [Cars] could mean new or
used, but if the user has queried for used, they specifically do NOT want new.
A product is a physical thing you purchase to take with you or to have delivered. This includes specific
items (Air Jordan True Flight), larger categories (shoes), a category of store (shoe store), Brand plus
product or category (Nike shoes), and Brand names (Nike).
Any Brand with its own stores that sell only their own products is Product intent, whether they also sell
in other stores or not. Pay attention to the whole query, if a query has both a brand and another store
name, (Nike shoes Nordstrom) then we consider this a query for Nordstrom store and Nike products.
{Nike}- Has own stores with only their products {Target} - Department store with own brand, but
and sell at other stores. no stores that sell ONLY Target products.
{Nike shoes Nordstrom} Product/brand at Named {Nordstrom} department store with no product
store

dealership
{Frozen Pizza} bought at store to make at home {Pizza delivery} considered cuisine as pizza is
ready to eat
{Old Navy} sold at Old Navy stores, which only sell {Home Hardware} always do a search for a query
Old Navy brand. that seems like a category, some like this are
actually store names.
{Women’s clothing store} stores that sell {iPhone repair} intent is service of a product you
products are product intent already have, not purchase of new product
{Used Car Sales} {car detailing} Service
