I wonder if anyone has a good description on how Relevance Ranking
works in 7 and 8. How does the system determine what is Most Relevant
when you do a search?
Thank you!

Hi Jose,
The simple answer is that relevance is decided entirely by Solr. DSpace sends all queries directly to Solr "as-is" and the results come back from Solr. So, if you wanted to modify the relevance, then you'd want to investigate how to change the default relevance settings in Apache Solr. This likely would involve updating the default Solr configs for the "search" core at: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/main/dspace/solr/search/conf
