Dimension value boost and bury is a mechanism by which the ranking of certain specific dimension values is made higher or lower than others.

Dimension value boost and bury is a feature that enables users to re-order returned dimension values. With dimension value boost , you can assign specific dimension values to ranked strata, with those in the highest stratum being shown first, those in the second-ranked stratum shown next, and so on. With dimension value bury , you can specify that specific dimension values should be ranked much lower relative to others. This boost/bury mechanism therefore lets you manipulate ranking of returned dimension values in order to promote or push certain types of records to the top or bottom of the results list.

The feature depends on the use of the Nrcs URL parameter or the related Presentation API methods. The feature also works with the use of static refinement ranking as well as dynamic refinement ranking.
