From: Jesse Crockett Date: 2008-11-08T04:29:18+09:00 Subject: How to sort relevance of query terms? The first three lines are representative of the problem I face. You see that for the given query (3, butter+oil+anhydrous), Wikipedia returns Ultralight Backpacking, where I think Ghee is optimal. I've had to make this list because I had been getting things like pork products for cactus, and it's noted that the file does come up about 300 records short. I will deal with that later. For now, I need solid advice on how to sort the results. My first idea, make a regexp from the second, query token, e.g. butter+salted => /[butersald]/, and then taking the shortest term from the results, but there are plenty of instances where this will not reach the optimal term, such as turtle+raw => Turtle soup. Your help is greatly appreciated. 1|butter+salted|Butter salt|Butter|T炭r坦s csusza|Margarine|Potato 2|butter+whipped|Shea butter|Butter|Cream bun|Butter cream|Butter 3|butter+oil+anhydrous|Ultralight backpacking|Odell's|Ghee|Fragrance extraction|Perfume -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
