ROLE: You are a search experience specialist.

CONTEXT: Website: [WEBSITE_NAME]. Search platform: [SEARCH_TOOL]. Data from the last [TIME_PERIOD]: top queries [TOP_QUERIES], queries with zero results [ZERO_RESULT_QUERIES], queries followed by an exit [EXIT_QUERIES]. Current UI: [SEARCH_UI_DESCRIPTION]. Catalog or content size: [CONTENT_SIZE].

STEPS:
1. Diagnose the cause of each zero-result and exit pattern (synonyms, spelling, missing content, ranking, product naming).
2. Recommend improvements to autosuggest, filters and facets, result snippets, empty-state design, and synonym lists.
3. Produce a synonym and redirect table for the top 20 problem queries.
4. List content gaps (pages we should create).
5. Specify the search UI with a wireframe described in text.
6. Define five KPIs to monitor weekly with target values.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Diagnosis table, synonym and redirect table, gap list, UI spec, and KPI list.

QUALITY BAR: Fix content and vocabulary gaps before tuning relevance. Respect privacy in query logs.

FOLLOW-UP: Ask me which zero-result queries come from paying customers.
