Re: Sorting by highest number of matches unique to a field

interpreted = N
texte = Kenneth, Thanks. I just tried a slimmed down search with no sort specified... [search db=db/messages.db&nemsg_iddatarq=[blank]&msg_idsumm=T&max=10] [founditems] .... [/founditems] [/search] What you are saying, is that this would list the [msg_id] at the top that had the most matches? It didn't. this search seemed to randomly, pick out 10 results. I could not find a pattern to the sort at all. It just grabbed 10 of them out of seemingly anywhere in the db., of those the highest number was 10 matches. I know that one [msg_id] in particular has over 200 posts, and there are many that have more than 10. I thought that the default sort was "best match" not "most matches" In otherwords the results that "best match" the search criteria, not the results that have the most matches...? -- Confused.
