The submission letter should provide a general explanation of what the proposed programming logic would be and provide representative examples for the boundaries of a search. Basically, provide an outline of how your logic works and include the algorithms, data structures, and any significant design decisions that are applicable.
For non-programmed search terms, it is important to have boundaries programmed into the search function results. The user may type in whatever they wish, but the search results should be restricted per the applicable scenario/situation. Consider two examples for an HCP-branded website:
Using negative search terms so that no potential off-label therapeutic areas are presented in the search results for a specific product.
Post-gate on a pan-product, pan-therapeutic area site, should the user type in a brand name of a product, the search results should not bring up any material from the unbranded section of the website and vise versa (siloed approach to search should be implemented.
Should you require a more prescriptive response, we suggest submitting an opinion or arranging a consult meeting where you could provide examples outlining the type of site, content, and expected search functionality.
