Re: [IUG] Search Results and Relevancy

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

A couple of other things/clues I wanted to add about our system. I
noticed that the search works as it should when I choose to search for
the title Little Women using our Advanced Search -
http://innopac.fauquiercounty.gov/search/X?SEARCH=t:(little%20women)&SOR
T=D. The Delinquent Virgin drops down to #8 in the list.

 

Our BROWSE option is set as BROWSE_t =
245/abpnv/h|240/abc/|970/t/|abpnvh

 

Thanks,

 

Alison

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
