Search and Filter results order

Hello

the ordering configured in component / (optionaly overriden in category) will be used
which ordering is configured ?

Hello

Not sure I understand what ordering you talking about...

I seen only Item Ordering (Level 1) an Item Ordering (Level 2)

But I'm talking about results in search or filtering.

First, should be displayed elements with a keyword in the title.

Hello

title ?
yes wanted to do this some time ago when you suggested it 6 months ago

yes the results having the most text search words in the title
- should appear on top

it is rather easy to do (it is a small modification of the query ... i have studied it)

but

not sure how this will be configurable
- i mean do it without adding any configuration parameters ?

will people think that ordering is broken ?

Hello

please see my above answer

Example

Effectively if searching for 3 words the item list will be
have results found having all 3 text search words in the search index

but

- show items having all 3 words inside title then order them by e.g. creation date
- then show items having 2 words inside title then order them by e.g. creation date
- then show items having 1 words inside title then order them by e.g. creation date


then here we can also fix the case of search for any words too ...
if not all words are found first show items with most words ...

Hello

I beleive, that this is correct order:

- show items having all 3 words inside title then order them by e.g. creation date
- then show items having 2 words inside title then order them by e.g. creation date
- then show items having 1 words inside title then order them by e.g. creation date

But not "then order them by e.g. creation date"

I think serach results shoild be more flexible:

- show items having all 3 words inside title then show items having all 3, 2, 1 words inside description
- show items having all 3 words inside description then show items having all 2, 1 words inside title
- show items having all 2 words inside title then show items having all 2, 1 words inside description
- show items having all 2 words inside description then show items having all 1 words inside title
- show items having all 1 word inside title then then order them by e.g. creation date

Or just show first items having having exact word or phraze inside Title and then order them by e.g. creation date.

Anyway, users trying to search items with specifiec Title (95%), and than text from Description (5%).

Hello

Ok that would be more optimal

but lets do something also good enough without effecting performance

Please note that we will have 2 columns
1. title (rather small)
2. search_index

Having
1. title +
2. description (usually as big to be compared to 'search_index')
3. search_index

may effect performance


So lets do this
search in 'title' and 'search_index'

If all 3 words found
- order by words found in title

then if not requiring all show words do similar for 2 words ...
