I am using the Sitecore.ContentSearch
API to perform a search which works fine and brings back the expected results.
searchResults = context.GetQueryable<SearchItem>()
.Where(i => i.Name.Contains(searchTerm));
I have then added a Boosting Rule
at /sitecore/system/Settings/Indexing and Search/Boosting Rules/Item Rules
which checks a boolean value on the item and if its true boosts the score, the rule has been applied via Standard Values on the Item template.
The issue I have is the order of the results returned from the GetQueryable call do not match the results I am expecting.
If I run the same query in Luke v3.5
I get the expected results back ordered by the Score desc.
Does anyone know why the call to GetQueryable results would be in a different order?
Update - Additional Rule Details
Rule
Item Template
Sitecore support have come back with the use of boosting
is not supported when using Contains
in Linq as this constructs a Wildcard Query
in Lucene which does not support boosting.
Its discussed in a bit more detail here
