Order by More relevant - Dspace8

[Aroldo Rique Júnior]

Hello everybody.

I would like to know what this "most relevant" ordering means. Is the ordering based on some metadata, some statistics?

Att,

Hi Aroldo,

In DSpace, the "most relevant" ordering always corresponds to the relevance "score" provided by Apache Solr.  Apache Solr will attempt to rank or score results based on your search query, and will sort them so that the most relevant results are more likely to be at the top.

More information on Solr relevance can be found at https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_0/relevance.html

Based on your search, it's also possible to "boost" the score of specific words, etc.  For example https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_0/the-standard-query-parser.html#boosting-a-term-with

Basically, DSpace's search engine is entirely driven by Solr.  DSpace does not have its own relevancy score/rank. DSpace will just return the results based on how your Solr is configured.
