* The intent- exactly what the user means, based on the previous searches conducted by the same user. This may also be described as the search behavior of the user.

* The context- this is where the user is and what type of device they are using.

* The machine learning- what exactly do you know about their search behavior, and their engagements, when they click on products or adverts.
