Regarding Smart Search

Hi
I want to apply scoring to the fields in my smart search results. Can you please suggest me option for the same how can i do that . I have v6.0. I want like to weight different fields of an object for searching , ex- on a 'Page' document type, the 'title' should be more important than the 'description'
so if I'm searching for a phrase and it appears in the title, those results should show up before Pages that have my phrase only in the description.

RE:Regarding Smart Search

Hello,

The Smart search module is based on Lucene.Net (version 2.1.0) which is a source code, class-per-class, API-per-API port of the Java Lucene search engine to the C# and .NET platform. Since this is a 3rd party component, core customizations would be supported by its developers. Modifying the scoring system is a pretty complex undertaking and it is not something that would be configured within Kentico. If you need assistance with this requirement, I would recommend taking a look at the official documentation and support.

Best Regards,
Sandro Jankovic

Just i want to know how can i inject my field weights to the Kentico smart search. So Just Please suggest some options so that i can move some forward to it as i think customizing lucene core dll would not be good option for the kentico. Thanks


Member	kentico_sandroj - 9/2/2013 11:15:16 AM RE:Regarding Smart Search Hello, I regret to inform you that modifying the algorithm is the only way to affect the scoring. This is done outside of Kentico and we do not officially support it. Best Regards, Sandro Jankovic
