texte = WebDNA's ranking is pretty much how many search terms matched? - in your example, the answer is 1 for each item, so they are given equal ranking. Even if 112G occurred multiple times in the SKU, TITLE and DESCRIPTION fields, it would still get a hit count of 1, since only the GROUP1data term found a match.One way to bump up the ranking would be to add additional search terms to your query...GROUP1field=SKU+TITLE+DESCRIPTION&woGROUP1datarq=[url][keywords][/ url]&woSKUdata=[url][keywords][/url]&SKUword=swIn this example, any SKU that begins with 112G would have a hit count of 2 and would therefore get pushed to the top of the rankings. By not requiring the second search term, no additional records will be eliminated from the results.- Brian On Friday, February 21, 2003, at 09:06 AM, Donovan wrote:> More on this....
