Data Fields
Fields are identified from the dataset automatically and can be adjusted. New fields can be added or existing one edited/ removed.
Ranking
In the ranking tab the search behaviour can be controlled on field level basis.
Weight
A field can be assigned with a weight (between 1-5) based on its importance. This is known as field boosting, the higher the weight, the higher the importance of the field.
the title of a document might be considered more important than the body text, and therefore, it could be assigned a higher field weight.
By assigning different weights to various fields, more accurate and contextually relevant results to users can be delivered.
Note: A custom weight above 5 can be assigned, but use this with care!
