Push back on that rule. The whole point of TF-IDF relevance ranking is to put the most relevant documents first. Trying to subvert that does a disservice to your users, and will frustrate you too.
If a phrase match truly is more relevant than a word match, then TF-IPD ranking probably *will* show the phrase match before the word match. But if the word match turns out to have a higher score, let it appear first. Your users will thank you. -- Mike On 12 Mar 2012, at 21:26 , Danny Sinang wrote: > Hi, > > Am looking to implement a business rule that says "Phrase results must be > displayed before partials". > > So if, using search:search(), I looked for the phrase "medical research", all > results having that exact phrase should be shown first, followed by results > for "medical" and "research". > > A previous contractor managed to implement the generation of the phrase > results + partials.
