Hi Mike

There's a couple of options - firstly, you can weight certain indices to have 
higher priorities in your search call:

  :index_weights => {Continent => 4, Country => 3, StateProvince => 2, Place => 
1}

That won't ensure your order, though - if a country is a far better match than 
a low continent, then it'll probably end up above it. Could play with those 
numbers (any indices/classes not mentioned get a weight of 1), they don't need 
to be sequential, could be anything.

A more reliable option, if the ordering is critical, is give each model a 
manual attribute like so - changing the number each time to ensure your sort 
order:

  has '1', :as => :class_sort, :type => :integer

And then use :order => :class_sort - or, better: "class_sort ASC, @relevance 
DESC"

Cheers
