How to configure Search Ranking Rules in the Instant Search Widget ?
Each source has a list of ranking rules that are stored with the index settings. For each search query, Instant Search uses a sorting order to rank documents. The first ranking rule is applied to all documents, while each subsequent rule is applied only to documents that are considered equal according to the previous rule (i.e., as a tiebreaker).
Follow the steps below:
- Once the menu is open, select the Search Input element on the left side, then click the icon on the right side, marked with a red arrow, to access the search ranking rules settings.
- This feature allows users to define the sorting order at query time using a sorting search parameter. In general, sorting is highly useful when you want to let users decide what type of results they want to see first.
