-
When querying with some filtering conditions,
a basic score is calculated for each document in the results by the underlying engine. -
In order to prioritize results,
you can provide a boost value to the searched terms which will be integrated with the basic score. -
Usually, the higher the boost value, the more relevant the term will be,
resulting in a higher ranking of its matching document in the results. -

- When making a full-text search with the
Search()method then boosting can be applied

{PANEL: Get resulting score}
-
The score can be retrieved by either:
-
Request to include explanations when making the query.
See include query explanations. -
Get the metadata of the resulting entities that were loaded to the session.
See example below.
