David,<br><br><br>I'm planning on writing up a blog post explaining relevancy ranking in Koha (I finally found the source code, so it's a matter of translating it into Human), but I'm not sure I'll get to it before January. If anyone else wants to take a crack at it, be my guest. The _build_weighted_query subroutine starts on C4/Search.pm line 757 in current master.<br>
<br>Reviewing the code, it's not actually that complex... maybe I could do this article sooner than I thought...<br><br><br>-Ian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/12/21 Hartman, David W. - GBTS Library <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:David.W.Hartman@disney.com">David.W.Hartman@disney.com</a>></span><br>

language filter on the advanced search and I was going to add the answer
to the manual only to find that none of the fields are defined:

<br>
<br>
Do we know if there is documentation on this in zebra anywhere? Or does
anyone know (in a way that's quick and easy to answer) enough to tell me
so I can put something in the manual?<br>
<br>
The searching guide that is in there was written for 3.0 and I
honestly never changed it because there is way too much about the search
engine I don't know and didn't know how to research.<br>
<br>
Anyway, if you have some tips, places I should look, or information you want to share please do! You can just reply to all here or I also welcome patches to the manual - but if you'd rather write it in a document or text file go right ahead. I will credit you for the parts you write of course!<br>
<br>Thanks in advance,<br>Nicole<br><br>PS. I'm looking for tips that will help the users like the fact that the language index populates from 008 (chars 35-37), and 041adej
