I am trying to exclude certain fields from being searched with little success.
The doc says:
"Search Weight: If this is set to a positive value, this field will be included in the search index. Note: you must rebuild the search index after changing/adding a search weight."
Out of the box, only Title, URL, and Description have a positive value. ALL others are NULL. YET, search is returning records based on values in fields WHERE Search_Weight is NULL.
So, I set a few fields to both "0" and "-1", resynched the database, rebuilt the search and it is STILL searching those fields.
One other issue is that after chaninging a search weight, it still shows as NULL on the Edit Links Table Definition[/url] page. Yet, when you drill down, the actual value is present.
I have tried this on both my Linux/Apache and Windows/IIS box and they perform exactly the same way. v2.1.2
