Creating ranking modules

Ranking modules are selected from a stock list of modules. The Static and Phrase modules both take parameters.

You may have multiple instances of the Static module, however, you should only have one instance of the Phrase module for each search interface.

To assign one or more ranking modules to a search interface:

  1. In the Search Interface editor, click Relevance Ranking Modules. The Relevance Ranking Modules editor appears.
  2. In the All Modules list, select a relevance ranking module and click Add. The module is moved to the Selected Modules list.
    Note: Selecting a module causes a brief description to appear in the frame in the lower left corner of the editor.
  3. If you selected the Static module, edit the Static module parameters.
  4. If you selected the Phrase module, edit the Phrase module parameters.
  5. (Optional) Repeat step 2 to add additional modules to the search interface.
  6. (Optional) Use the up Up arrow. and down Down arrow. arrows to adjust the relative rank of the modules in your ranking strategy.
  7. Click OK to return to the Search Interface editor.

Implementing search features requires additional work outside of Developer Studio. Please refer to the Endeca Advanced Development Guide for details.
