business search parameter sort_by is only returning best_match results

[magdini]

Overview

• Client ID: cPy0ap766JgKud7yXFY3Cw
• Issue type: bug
• Summary: Search results does not respect sort_by parameter anymore. Any of the distance, rating, review_count or best_match returns the same results (which I believe is all just best_match)
• Platform: web, postman, Android

Description

sort_by has stopped working for me, using sort_by=distance (or any other option) in the fusion api is all giving me the same results as best_match

Endpoint

Fusion Search API

I have the same exact problem. All sort_by parameters are ignored. Just implemented it and doesn't seem to work.

Happens only on the yelp-fusion endpoints. Doesn't happen on the yelp-graphql ones.

[bbuehrig]

Same problem here with fusion-endpoints!

Hi @magdini, thanks for filing this issue! We will track this internally and find out what's going on.

[wunderkind2k1]

@teekwak any updates on this. Our api calls dont sort the results correctly too. It hurts. Can we help?

[teekwak]

Hi @wunderkind2k1,

We are actively working on this ticket. I'll update the ticket as we roll out fixes

[butterfield]

Hi @wunderkind2k1,

This should be fixed now for all sorting fields (distance, rating, and review_count). Remember for sorting by rating that we use an adjusted rating that takes into account number of reviews as well, so those businesses won't always be perfectly sorted by the numeric rating.

Please reach out if you see any different issues around sorting by filing another issue.

[wunderkind2k1]

awesome. Much improved. Thanks. Can this happen again?

[mrjackyliang]

@wunderkind2k1 It could. I built my own filter algorithm when this issue happened.

[wunderkind2k1]

@coolboiime I understand that. Good idea but I want to avoid unnecessary data-shuffling on my side. The question was more about whether they introduced a regression test in their build.

[magdini]

awesome! Works like a charm again 💃
