Hi, I'm new in this forum, and I start with this interesting question:

- I added "Priority Field" in Links database.
I set
$LINKS{build_sort_order_search} = "Priority,Title,Description";
$LINKS{build_sort_order_category} = "Priority,Title";

I assigned on each link in the database priority "10" for all, and "0" for best.

When I "Build all", really links with lower priority come to the top of page in static pages;

But when I make search, the order of output is respected only inside the category where I make search, but global search is sorted by Alphabeth Order of categories. I tried also to get ride off from Categories suddivision, commenting $link_results .="<p>" . ..... in search.cgi but nothing better happend.

Hope someone can help me, if someone understand my fantastic english... :-)

I'm not sure if you mean HIGH is 10 and LOW is 0, but you would need to sort

$LINKS{build_sort_order_search} = "Priority DESC,Title,Description";
$LINKS{build_sort_order_category} = "Priority DESC,Title";

DESCending (Higher to lower)

Also, the build_sort_order_search has a problem, in that results are returned in 'score' order, meaning "most relavent" on the "weights" assigned to the various fields.

Thanks for quickly reply.

Do you know how I can manipulate "score" of results? For me the only problem is to remove the grouping on categories/subcategories in search results... I think is not so hard to have results not "grouped"... But I'm not able to do this!!! :-))

I had asked Alex that when the program first came out (1.1x code) and he said it wasn't possible, really. It had been designed in, and needed to be designed out.
