GitHub user jurgenf created a discussion: Nouveau relevancy sorting when no sort parameter is given.
The documentation states that if you do a search query on a Nouveau index, the results are ordered by relevance: > If you do not provide a sort parameter, relevance is used by default. The > highest scoring matches are returned first. https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/ddocs/nouveau.html#relevance However, when I do a search for example: ```JSON { "q": "(projectKey:KEY*^4) OR (projectName:KEY~)" } ``` The result looks as follows: ```JSON { "update_latency": 11, "total_hits_relation": "EQUAL_TO", "total_hits": 5, "ranges": null, "hits": [ { "order": [ { "value": 0.823529, "@type": "float" }, { "value": "KEYB", "@type": "string" } ], "id": "KEYB", "fields": { [...] } }, { "order": [ { "value": 4.5334044, "@type": "float" }, { "value": "KEYA", "@type": "string" } ], "id": "KEYA", "fields": { [...] } }, [...] ``` My expectation was that `KEYA` with it's 4+ score would appear as the first item in the hits array. If I page the resultset, higher scoring items can also appear on the next page/pages. Is my understanding of the relevancy sorting incorrect or should the second hit be the first item in the `hits` array?
