Use the Enable Search Data Mode in Classic CMS to view search result information, including the search scores for individual products, by searching for products within the CMS shell.

## Enable Search Data Mode

Only users assigned the ISC\_ContentAdmin role have access to Enable Search Data Mode.

1. Click **Site Preview** and select **Website** to launch the Classic CMS from the Admin Console.
2. Select **Preview** to enter preview mode.
3. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner and select **Enable Search Data Mode**.
4. Enter a search term in the **Search** box and click the magnifying glass icon.
5. Review the Search Results page. The search scores and matching fields that contribute to the total score appear under the **Search Data** heading for each product. Sponsored products move to the top of search results regardless of their score.
