Tagalys search results are based on the 'AND' function to ensure 100% accuracy, where products displayed in the search results must contain ALL the search query words or synonyms of the words.  'Partially Match' is used in a [Merchandised Search](https://support.tagalys.com/why-would-i-use-search-merchandising?hsLang=en) when the merchant wants to display certain products in search results when merchandised search term is also a part of the search query. For e.g., If the word 'Dress' is set to 'Partially Matches' in a 'Merchandised Search' to show four products in a static position, any query that contains the term 'dress' will showcase these 4 products in their static position. ![Edit Merchandised Search - Tagalys (1)](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Edit%20Merchandised%20Search%20-%20Tagalys%20(1).png?width=670&height=348&name=Edit%20Merchandised%20Search%20-%20Tagalys%20(1).png) The search results would show products that match the 'Merchandised Search' when the word matches the search query. ![Partial match - 2](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Partial%20match%20-%202.png?width=670&name=Partial%20match%20-%202.png) It also displays the same results when part of the search query matches the 'Merchandised Search' ![Partial match - 3](https://support.tagalys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Partial%20match%20-%203.png?width=670&name=Partial%20match%20-%203.png) 'Partially Matches' is used in 'Search Redirects' when the merchant wants to direct the visitor to a URL for any search query that contains the words.
