[Wactclc-primo] Relevance (relevancy) ranking in Primo

[Guidry, Wade]

Also, just FYI, as a follow-up to today's C1 in-person meeting at Highline on the New Primo UI and the discussion about relevancy ranking in Primo...

The "term of art", so to speak, in the PBO for relevancy ranking search results in Primo is "boosting" or "results boosting".

So, if you search Primo documentation for those terms, you will find relevant (no pun intended) content, such as:

https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Training/Extended_Training/Primo_Ranking_Customization

https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/Back_Office_Guide/110Additional_Primo_Features/020Search_Engine_Configurations#Results_Boosting

That content is good background info for understanding how relevancy in search results is determined. And how it might be adjustable via changes to PBO settings.
