Yes, we have noticed this problem internally. Essentially this is because we order iPlayer search results by date, which means we have to use a cut-off on the relevancy score. Unfortunately, it looks like we haven¹t got that cut-off quite right, and these episodes are beneath the threshhold. As with most of the public-facing Search systems, iPlayer Search is powered using technology from Autonomy. There are a number of, fairly simple, ways we can try to tackle this problem, but we¹ll need to take a look and see what works best. And it¹ll have to wait until we have more people back in the office!. But it¹s clear the configuration is sub-optimal at the moment. Thanks again, Stephen. -- ----------Stephen Betts ----------Search Technical Team Leader, ----------BBC FM&T (J).
