The Maximum Field (maxfield) module behaves
identically to the
Field module, except in how it scores cross-field matches.
Unlike
Field, which assigns a static score to cross-field
matches, Maximum Field selects the score of the highest-ranked field that
contributed to the match.
Note the following:
- Because Maximum Field
defines the score for cross-field matches dynamically, it does not make use of
the cross-field setting in the search interface.
- Maximum Field is only
valid for record search operations. This module assigns a score of zero to all
results for other types of search requests.
- Maximum Field treats all
matches the same, whether or not they are due to query expansion.
