    Hi,

    Just wondering if you can shed any light on what factors govern the weighting/ordering of EE 1.6.x search results, and what, if any, control one has over these?

    I understand the control I have over what gets searched but cannot fathom the order results are returned in.

    I am afraid the results are not weighted in any way, and it’s not possible to do that out of the box.

    Thanks for that candour.

    Think I’ll have a look at Search Results 1.2 from Planet/EE which I’ve just found.

    Solspace has a SuperSearch module, too, which might be worth checking out.
