A weighted search means multiple, prioritized fields are checked for matches. A match in the most important field weighs/counts or weighs more than a match in the least important field. For example, in TitleLeaf, a keyword search checks both the product name field and the product description field. If a user submits the “keyword” value “cow” and “product A” has a match in the name field and “product B” has a match in the description field. The following fields are checked in TitleLeaf’s keyword search, “product A” will appear before “product B” in the search results list.
Below is a complete list of the fields that are checked when submitting a “keyword” value:
Field | Weight |
|---|---|
product name | 2 |
product description | 1 |
product table of contents | 1.3 |
product keywords | 1 |
associated series name | 1 |
associated contributor name | 1 |
