Priority in results?

Priority in results?
Hi gang,
I have about 20 categories in my site. All of the contents (links) are internal to my website, except for those in the "Links" category. The problem is that many times when searching, the results from the "Links" category come up before those of other categories, which drives users out of my site faster.
I would like to set the "priority" of all the categories to be higher than the "Links" category, so people will first get the results of the categories that will "keep them in my site"... you get my point, right?
Thanks in advance for any hints...

What you should do is add a field called Priority (Yes/No) in the Links table...then you would have to update all your "internal" links to "Yes" for the Priority field.

Use the Table Maintenance script (MySQLMan): (use the SQL Monitor option).

Then change the SORTING order in the config module to be the following:

Code:

Priority, isNew, isPopular ASC


This will put "priority" links at the top of your categories and search results.
