Hi Catalin,

Could you please post what is to be added to the metadatadefinitions.xml in order for the FreeTextSearch_Rank to be returned in the result set?

Regards,

Kris

I solved it!
For anyone interested to know.
FreeTextSearch_Rank is the property you need to add to the web part’s sort options.
You also need to add it in MetadataDefinitions.xml, among the properties.

Hello,

Very interesting post!
However, how does this kind of sorting take place? If first sorts the results based on the first criteria, and then, for those results
which are equal it applies the second criteria?

And a second question:
How do you obtain the search results based only on free text search ranking (without any other sorting option)
in CS 2009 extensibility kit (Microsoft.Commerce.Portal.SearchController.cs, public static List DoProductQuerySearch

Thank you in advance
