Describes how to boost search results for Personalized Search & Navigation (a Product Recommendations feature) with attributes. See also [Personalized Search & Navigation](docId:881B_MLLP7zEhgfSMuRj_).

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**
Product Recommendations analyzes only attributes of products, not product variants; it ignores attributes with Boolean values and attributes having "type" in their names and either does not show if the score is not good enough for the algorithm (`<0.5`).
:::

Add the boost elements to the product attributes.

After that, search results with personalized boosting values display.
