Understanding Question Types
Bluebarry offers two question types:
1) Filter Questions:
- Strictly filters products from the available options
- Products that don’t match the criteria are completely removed from potential results
- Use when you need precise, requirement-based filtering
2) Ranking questions:
- Provides more flexible filtering
- Products remain in the potential results but are ranked based on relevance
- Ideal when you want to show the most likely matches without excluding other options

Bluebarry supports two answer filters
1) Text answers
- Standard text-based options for users to select.
