You could have each doctype correspond to a number that's saved in the type field, and sort by the number and then score.
Or you can do what I do and when you search, just weight each type differently. My types are all just one letter, so for instance: q=((search string) AND type:A^1) OR ((search string) AND type:B^10) OR etc etc -Reece On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 10:18 AM, James Wiegand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > What I am trying to do is get search results sorted by content type, since > there is an order in which results are preferred, for example: > > * Topics > * Postings > * Replies > * News > > in that order.
