1.10.1.1.2.3.  Full text search (ranking)

  • Words in the beginning of a field are ranked higher (NN, NT and NB)

  • In compound words (only concerns German) the last component has a higher rank.

    For example, when searching for screw, the result hexagon screw is weighted higher than screwdriver.

  • When searching for multiple words, results where these words are in the same order are ranked higher.

  • Exact word matches receive a higher rank

    Example:

    A search for screw prioritizes the word screw over cylinder screw.

    This means that hits with the word screw are listed in the search results before hits with cylinder screw.

  • In V11 the number of same words in the index reduced the rank. This was removed in V12.
