Implementing relevance ranking for value search

You can define a system-default relevance ranking strategy for value search operations.

To define a system-default relevance ranking strategy for value search operations, modify the RELRANK_STRATEGY attribute of the DIMSEARCH_CONFIG configuration document. To do so, create a text file with the configuration document and send it to the Oracle Endeca Server, using the Configuration Web Service or Integrator ETL.

The RELRANK_STRATEGY attribute specifies the name of a relevance ranking strategy for value search. The content of this attribute should be a relevance ranking string, as in this example:

<DIMSEARCH_CONFIG FILTER_FOR_ANCESTORS="FALSE" RELRANK_STRATEGY="interp,exact"/>

The default ranking strategy for value search operations, which is applied if you do not make any changes to it, is:

interp,exact,static
