The relevance ranking modules Exact, First, Freq, Nterms,
Numfields, Phrase, and Proximity can now accept an optional query-level
parameter named
considerFieldRanks
.
If specified as part of a query, the
considerFieldRanks
parameter indicates that the module
further sort records according to field ranking scores, in addition to sorting
according to the standard behavior of the module. For details about usage with
each relevance ranking module, see "Controlling relevance ranking at the query
level" in the
MDEX Engine Developer's Guide.
Note
The
considerFieldRanks
parameter is a query level
parameter that overrides the search interface settings you configure in
Developer Studio. The capability to consider field ranks cannot be specified in
the Relevance Ranking Modules editor of Developer Studio.
