The Exact, First, Nterms, and Proximity modules can take one parameter
named
considerFieldRanks
. If specified, the
considerFieldRanks
parameter indicates that the module
should further sort records according to field ranking scores, after the
records have been sorted according to the standard behavior of the module.
For example, if you specify exact without the parameter in a query, records that are an exact match are sorted into a strata that is higher than non-exact matches. Within each strata, the records are only sorted according to the default sort order or a specified sort key.
If you add the
considerFieldRanks
parameter to URL query syntax and
specify
exact(considerFieldRanks)
, the records within each
strata are sorted so that those with higher field ranking scores are more
relevant than those with lower field ranking scores within the same strata.
