Order of search results

[pmfuser]

Hi,

For example, I have a new FAQ which has an exact phrase "word1 word2" in the text, tag "word1 word2", and finally, "word1 word2" as a keyword. It comes up last because it's the latest one with the least views, and a few older FAQs have the same tag and keyword because they should. Is there a way to change the order of search results and make this best match entry be a first on the list?

Thanks

Hi,

do you use MySQL? If yes, did you enable search by relevance? Did you try the sorting by relevance?

All done now, and it looks much better. Thank you very much.

Still in regards of search, I have a search box at the bottom, and the refreshed page with results shows the middle of the page, so a user has to scroll up.

Where would be the directive for the top of the page? Template or code? I use spacelab template.

Thanks

Hi,

good news on the search!

For the scroll up issue, you could add a "autofocus" attribute into the search input field.

Thanks

I just saw the autofocus already in the search.tpl input field, too. The point is that the "jump" happens, but not all the way to the top. And after paying more attention to the search page, I see that the search field and button always stay on the bottom of the page which prevents it to go to the very top since the search form is at the bottom. Which part controls this behavior?

Thanks

Dumb me.

Since I moved search section to the bottom of the page, autofocus should be deleted from the input field.

Thanks for the right hint!
