Search Weighting
Is there a way to weight pages for the search feature? For me, the smart search doesn't even seem to list results with the search terms enterred first. For example, a page titled "Find Your 1098 Information" doesn't seem to show up as the first result of a search for "1098". I don't know if search just weights pages based on frequency of search terms in a page. How might I fix this?

RE:Search Weighting
Hi,

Adding the search weight for documents is on the list of the improvements for future versions already - I hope it will be added soon.

Regarding your question - it depends what kind of analyzer and stop words settings are used in your index setup. You may need to use the "Subset" analyzer type.

Best regards,

RE:Search Weighting
Thanks Juraj,

Can you expand on that a bit? How might I access and change my index setup?

Hi,

Please see the documentation on indexes setup - it is also explained what the options mean and how to use them.
