The Answered queries and Unanswered queries tabs in the Eddy AI Feedback manager give you a complete picture of how readers are interacting with Eddy AI search in your knowledge base. The Answered queries tab tracks feedback on responses where Eddy returned a result, helping you evaluate relevance and usefulness. The Unanswered queries tab captures feedback when Eddy returns no results, revealing gaps in your content or keyword coverage. Together, these two tabs are the primary tools for understanding and acting on reader search experience.
Answered queries tab
The Answered queries tab tracks feedback from readers when Eddy responds to their search query. This helps you evaluate how useful or relevant the response was in addressing the reader's question.
The Total answered queries count indicates the total number of feedback items across Open, Planned, and In Progress statuses.
Submitting feedback in the knowledge base site
In the knowledge base site, readers can provide feedback on the response that Eddy provides for their search query:
- Yes: Selecting Yes counts as a Like for the response. The reader can optionally add a comment.
- No: Selecting No counts as a Dislike for the response. The reader can choose a reason: Need more information, Inaccurate or irrelevant content, Incorrect sources/references, Difficult to understand, Missing information, Don't like the style, or Others, and provide additional comments.
The input box for the comment displays up to five lines of text without scrolling. Readers can add a comment of up to 1000 characters. A character counter is displayed below the input box to show the remaining characters.
Readers can also opt in for updates by selecting the Notify me about updates checkbox. Once done, click Submit. For public projects, readers must manually enter their email addresses, while for private and mixed projects, the Email field is automatically prefilled for logged-in users.
Similar feedback can be provided for Eddy responses in the Widget and Chatbot platforms when Eddy AI assistive search is turned on for those settings.
Unanswered queries tab
The Unanswered queries tab captures feedback from readers who did not find results for their search queries with Eddy AI. This feedback is useful for uncovering gaps in your content or identifying keywords to improve search relevance.
When a reader does not find any results for a particular search query or keyword with Eddy AI, they can share their feedback. All such feedback is compiled in the Unanswered queries tab.
