Hi Tony I'm not sure what the better way of doing this is, but my understanding of the :all match_mode (and :any, possibly :boolean) is that there's no relevance scoring - anything that matches gets a score of 1, and beyond that, results are returned in document id order (which is the same as database order).
From what the docs suggest about the ranking engines, it sounds like it should work with extended2 (and the default ranking engine BM25): http://www.sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-0.9.8.html#api-func-setrankingmode Sorry I can't provide any definitive answers for this problem. -- Pat On 02/09/2009, at 1:41 AM, Tony C wrote: > > The relevance/weight doesn't seem to be working as expected in > Sphinx. > > I am using the default match mode on Sphinx 0.9.8.1 with Thinking > Sphinx which should be SPH_MATCH_ALL which should have a final weight > as the sum of weighted phrase ranks. > > Let's say a Video table had these titles > 1) Lost in Space > 2) Lost in Translation > 3) Lost > > A search with the string "lost" will return results seemingly in the > id order, instead of the title "Lost" being first.
