Finkkle Search can adapt results to your interests and browsing history when you’re signed in. Personalization surfaces more relevant content in your search results, the For You feed, and trending recommendations — without changing the underlying index.

How personalization works

When personalization is enabled, Finkkle applies three types of signals to re-rank results: These signals are applied after retrieval — the full index is still searched, and only the ordering of results changes.

The For You feed

The For You section on the Finkkle homepage is a personalized content feed. It shows articles, news, and topics based on your interest history. It updates as you search and browse. Categories in the For You feed include:
  • Tech — technology news and product launches
  • Markets — financial updates and earnings
  • Sports — match results and schedules
  • Culture — trending topics and entertainment
  • Utilities — quick-access tools like weather, unit converter, and currency rates

Enable or disable personalization

Personalization requires a signed-in account. To manage it:
  1. Sign in at my.finkkle.com
  2. Open your account settings
  3. Toggle Personalized results on or off
You can also disable personalization for a single search by appending personalization=false to the query, or by using the Customize control on the homepage.

API parameter

When using the Search API, pass personalization=false in your request to skip personalization for that query:
For API integrations that serve multiple users, always set personalization=false unless you are explicitly building a per-user personalization feature. This ensures consistent, reproducible results.

SafeSearch

SafeSearch filters explicit content from results. It is enabled by default for all searches. You can adjust it:
  • In the UI: open Customize on the search results page
  • In the API: pass safeSearch=true (default) or safeSearch=false
