Hi Peter,
What is the ordering mechanism of the search results?
What affects the relevance or weight of an item?
Can this be configured?
We would like title exact match to have more weight than single word match in the content.
Thanks,
Maoz

Hi Maoz,

It is sorted as follows: "Hits DESC, Rank DESC, Title". Hits is the number of matches generated by the search for the various fields. So if it's found in both the title and the contents, this is 2. Rank is particular to the content search provider. So Lucene gives back a number but it's not entirely clear how this is generated. It's not that important as we just use it to sort. If you wish to know more about this, then you can peruse the online documentation of Lucene to see how they do this.

Unfortunately you can' configure the sorting.

Peter
