Actually I guess the other results are all title-matches. So is it possible output all title matches in date order first, then everything else?

I even tried weight post content at 0 then setting the order to date, but this didn’t work.

I can’t imagine how the plugin would weigh it as less relevant: I have Page Title now set to 2000, and Page Content set to 1, and still it is putting Page Content matches above an exact Page Title match. This is frustrating.

Are these the only two factors being weighed? Is there any reason it would be further down because it is newer??

Thanks Mikko. I added the boost function and filter (I only included the line for exact title matches, not post content), and it seems to be working great for the “South Africa” search results, but oddly, not for the “South Sudan” results:

Any idea why this recent piece isn’t showing up in the results?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help; I’ll give this a try.

I’m experiencing a similar problem, and I’ve set my “Title” weight *very* high (currently at 1000), yet a search for “South Africa” …
https://africacenter.org/?s=South+Africa

… includes a result without both words,”Pursuing the China Dream through Africa: Five Elements of China’s Africa Strategy”, in 3rd place, BEFORE results *with* both words.

Settings:

Default operator: AND (require all terms)
Fallback to OR: disabled
Default order: Relevance
Keyword matching: Partial works if no hits for whole words
Weights:
Post content: 2
Post titles: 1000
Comment text: 0

I don’t need proximity weighting, but I really need “South Africa” stuff to come up before items with merely “Africa” in the title!

Thanks for your help.
