[Discover] [Bug 399502] Search results sorted seemingly randomly, and do not respect selected sort order
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399502 --- Comment #9 from Aleix Pol --- Alright, then let's give this a go. I'll rename this bug to show when we're sorting by relevance, please if you find cases where what we're displaying is clearly wrong report so and we'll address it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399502 --- Comment #8 from Nate Graham --- If sorting by rating is wrong, then the toolbar shouldn't falsely claim that that's what the search list is sorted by. Right now the control and the actual state are inconsistent. Regardless, we need to do *something* to clean up search results. This is currently a pain point. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399502 --- Comment #7 from Aleix Pol --- The problem there is that sorting by rating upon search is wrong. We will have the same problem as soon as Wesnoth puts "torrent" in the description. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399502 --- Comment #6 from Nate Graham --- Hmm, the problem there is that KNS entries are listed first because they're more highly rated. Perhaps this raises the question of whether searching across both apps and KNS ever makes sense. Whenever you do a search, you generally know the type of the thing you want to be returned; e.g. if you search for "torrent", you're expecting an app, and if you search for "wallpaper" you're expecting an KNS entry. Right now you have to deliberately navigate to the top-level category of the thing you want results resutned for before this will happen. Perhaps it would make sense to have searching on the main page default to searching only app backends, and KNS results would only appear if you navigate to an addons page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399502 --- Comment #3 from Nate Graham --- I don't like "Relevance" as a search criterion *anywhere* because it's meaningless. What does it mean for the system to think a result is more or less relevant? I have no way of knowing how its definition of relevance differs from my own. "Relevance" can work when the algorithm is *perfect*, but this requires years of telemetry to scrutinize how every search winds up for the user so that the relevance algorithm can be adjusted incrementally to reduce the amount of time it takes to acquire a result. Google literally spends billions of dollars on this. We don't have those resources, and even if we did we don't spy on our users so we will never be able to achieve the same results. Rating is IMHO a much better default sort order for search results. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399502 --- Comment #2 from Aleix Pol --- This is indeed a bug, but a different bug than it seems. Here we're trying to sort by search relevance, so if you search for "torrent" it would should first KTorrent than something like e.g. Krita because krita has something that says torrent in the description. Now this is possibly not working and it makes it rather hard to operate if stuff is coming from different backends (just mean First In, First Served), so it could make sense to just remove it. Or else, we add a "By relevance" item in the combo box when searching. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
