To create a search business rule, add the rule's name and select Create & Add.

When configuring a search business rule, it is possible to configure one or both of the following:

  • Metadata value influence: to promote or demote documents based on a metadata key.

  • Metadata value order influence: to promote documents based on the ascending or descending value of a specific metadata key.

For more information about search business rules, see Custom sort order.

Examples

  • Adding the ft:isBook metadata and setting true as a value in the Metadata value influence section promotes books over articles.

  • Adding the Version metadata and selecting Descending in the Metadata value order influence section promotes the latest version of a document.

  • The order of the metadata keys has no influence on the search results.
  • When promoting multiple metadata keys, the one with the least instances in the corpus takes precedence.
  • Adding too many metadata to a search business rule can be detrimental to the search results. It is strongly recommended to add a maximum of four metadata keys per section. For optimal results, use up to two metadata keys per section.
  • Custom sort order only apply to empty queries.
