    Thank you for your plugin, very very useful!

    I’m using it to customize the search on a magazine website, therefore the need for the author search is very important. I’m using Relevanssi to add that field to the search, but I would also want to make it a priority. If someone searches an author’s name, the articles they’ve written should be displayed before anything else.

    Is there a way to add a custom weight for that field?

    Thank you!

    Yes:

    add_filter('relevanssi_match', 'rlv_author_boost', 11, 2);
function rlv_author_boost($match, $idf) {
	$title_boost = floatval(get_option('relevanssi_title_boost'));
	$link_boost = floatval(get_option('relevanssi_link_boost'));
	$comment_boost = floatval(get_option('relevanssi_comment_boost'));

	$match->tf =
		$match->title * $title_boost +
		$match->content +
		$match->comment * $comment_boost +
		$match->link * $link_boost +
		$match->author * 100 +
		$match->excerpt +
		$match->taxonomy_score +
		$match->customfield +
		$match->mysqlcolumn;
	$match->weight = $match->tf * $idf;
	return $match;
}

    Add this to your theme functions.php file, and adjust the 100 to a suitable weight. That should get author matches to the top of your results.
