Rating a Find tells its Ghost whether you wanted it, and the Ghost uses that on its next scan. Each Ghost learns only from its own Finds. Ratings refine a Ghost, so if most Finds are wrong, rewrite the [goal](/docs/ghosts/goals) first.

## Rate a Find

1.  Open the Find and click the smiley button in the toolbar (Rate this Find), or press Shift + R.
2.  Pick Bad, Meh or Great.
3.  Write a Reason that says what made the post a good or bad fit, in up to 400 characters. The reason is optional.
4.  Click Submit.

Open the button again to change the rating. You can also rate from a Find notification in your team chat with Rate Find.

A payroll software company whose Ghost keeps finding vendor ads could rate a few Bad with the reason “This is a vendor’s ad, not a customer complaining about payroll.”

## How your Ghost uses ratings

On each scan, the Ghost loads its 5 most recently found Finds for each rating. Older ratings drop out as newer ones replace them, so keep rating as you go.

The post text and your reason go to the Ghost as examples of what you do and don’t want.

Once the Ghost has one Great Find, it also compares each new post with your Great and Bad Finds before reviewing it. A post goes on only if it reads more like your Great Finds than your Bad ones. Until you’ve rated anything Bad, it has to read close to your Great Finds.

Warning

A single Great rating turns this comparison on. If a Ghost finds much less after you start rating, open its Scanned items and look for the reason Failed similarity filter. You can turn a wrongly dropped post into a Find from there.
