Introduction
SPARQUE provides capabilities for personalized recommendations as well as configurable search and navigation behavior. It offers a comprehensive set of features that can be adapted to project‑specific requirements. While SPARQUE simplifies customization compared to traditional search engines, effective use of the platform requires appropriate domain knowledge. To ensure correct configuration and optimal results, SPARQUE is delivered together with a consulting package.
