[IUG] Search Results and Relevancy

["Pruntel,Alison" <Alison dot Pruntel at fauquiercounty dot gov>]

This is probably a no-brainer for most people on this list, so excuse my
ignorance in advance.

 

When I do a title search in our catalog
(http://innopac.fauquiercounty.gov/) for Little Women, I get the brief
display w/various records
(http://innopac.fauquiercounty.gov/search/t?little+women). If I click on
the first in the list, with the 11 entries, you'll see that what would
seem less relevant items are at the top of the list. In this case, The
Delinquent Virgin just happens to have a chapter entitled "Little
women." Can someone enlighten me on where this is controlled, what I can
do to fix this? I'm not sure if it has to do with our indexing or what.
It looks like the results are listed alphapbetically (title) before
relevancy. I am not sure if this is related to our Advanced Searching:
Ranking Options (page #101916), since this isn't using Advanced Search.
And with those, I checked and ours are set as DAR (date, alpha,
relevance). I noticed that we have adjacency search turned off, too. Our
SORT_BROWSE WWWOption is set to t:title|a:Author|c:Year|r:Reverse
Year|m:Material Type, if that matters.

 

Of course, we're supposed to have WebPAC Pro installed sometime today,
so maybe this is won't still be the case.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Alison
