    Default Customize Search Weighting

    I have 2 products. One with the product name containing the word "flower", the other with the description containing the word "flower".

    Search for flower, and the second appears first, and the product with "flower" in the product name appears second.

    To me logically it should be the reverse. Does anyone know:
    1. how search is weighted currently ?
    2. what file is defining the weighting ?

    Default Re: Customize Search Weighting

    There is no weighting on the search for which is more important ...

    To do this, you would need to perform separate searches on each criteria in order of relavance and combine those searches into one based on your own needs to force a difference of order ...

    Then you have the problem of how to display that information as now there is no true rhyme or reason to the optional display orders or customer sorts ...
