Provided is a method for distributing rules across instances of a rules engine. The method includes determining a rule load for each set of rules of a plurality of sets of rules. Each set of rules is associated with a tenant of a plurality of tenants hosted on a multi-tenant system. The method includes combining the rule load for each set of rules into an overall rule load. The method further includes distributing the sets of rules across a set of rules engine instances such that approximately the same fraction of the overall rule load is assigned to each rules engine instance of the set of rules engine instances.

A method, system and computer-usable medium for optimizing of search rules modifying search results. A rules service is initiated prior to executing a given search query from a shopper. A search rule evaluation is performed for the given search query and implementing a search rule that causes actions defined by the search rule to be applied to the given search request query. A list of search rules implemented or fired for each given search query is stored. A tracking record is built based on search rule evaluation that includes the list of implemented or fired rules and rule impact tracking (RIT) records.

A method, computer system, and computer program product for determining and displaying tones with messaging information are provided. The embodiment may include receiving a plurality of user-entered messaging information from a messaging application. The embodiment may also include determining a tone associated with the plurality of received user-entered messaging information. The embodiment may further include determining whether a word, a phrase, or an image in the plurality of user-entered messaging information is used above a pre-configured threshold number of times by the user. The embodiment may also include determining a color and an animation for the determined tone based on a preconfigured mapping of a plurality of colors and a plurality of animations with a plurality of tones.
