SYMPTOM(s):
Why does one product get 100% relevancy and the another product get 76% when both products are found in the same columns?
CAUSE:
search: hinge
Product 1663, relevancy: 100%, sales: 44
Found in:Categories.Category Name, Items.Item Name, Products.Keywords, Products.Product Name
Product 2283, relevancy: 76%, sales: 2817
Found in:Categories.Category Name, Items.Item Name, Products.Keywords, Products.Product Description1, Products.Product Name
EasyAsk results:
?hinge? is inflected to hinge's, hinges, hinges', hinging and hinged
In the relevancy configurations of the dictionary, multiple matches from columns with weight at or above VERY HIGH will boost the relevancy. Product name, keyword and category name are configured ?Very High? or ?Highest?. Thus multiple match of a search term on these columns will increase the scores (boosting effect). Thus although, two products are found in the same column(s), their relevancy scores can be different. The final score for a product is the combined score from column rankings and the boost scores.
In this case, Product 1663 appears more times with search of ?hinge? and its inflected words (hinge's, hinges, hinges', hinging, hinged) than product 2283. Thus product 1663 has a higher score than product 2283.
