Hi Geoff If you've got the user-specific ranking modifiers in the database, then you could add that as an attribute and then use that attribute in your custom ranking algorithm - but I guess that's only when you're searching on users. If you're searching on products, then I guess you could bring the current user's ranking modifier in when constructing the search query.
But really, it comes down to what the end result that you're after is. -- Pat On 19/01/2012, at 7:18 PM, Geoff Wright wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm using Sphinx at the moment and am loving it.
