Hi Michael,
Dan Scott wrote an excellent post about this years ago for 1.6 that is
still applicable to current releases of Evergreen -
http://www.coffeecode.net/archives/218-Adjusting-relevancy-rankings-in-Evergreen-1.6,-some-explorations.html.
Just a note that the search.relevance_ranking table he mentions early in
the post is something our consortia do not turn on due to performance
issues that arose in 2.0. However, the rest of the blog post on how to
weight indexes is something we've done in two of our consortia.

Hi All,
I've searched markmail so forgive me if this has been discussed
before. When I do a keyword search in our catalogue is there a way to
have it weight the title higher than other keywords. For example if I
do a keyword search for 'The Replacements' the first page of results
shows "The Replacement Wife" as the 1st result, 8 results that don't
have replacement in the title and then the 10th result (what I was
actually looking for) is 'The Replacements'. link here
<http://forterie.niagaraevergreen.ca/eg/opac/results?query=the+replacements&qtype=keyword&fi%3Asearch_format=&locg=108>
So what is the best way to get 'The Replacements' to the top of that
list for a keyword search?
Thanks,
