What is the purpose of 'isoScore' in the sort options #18

Open niranjans opened 9 years ago

Hi @arunoda,

I tried to look in the docs for what isoScore does but could not find it. Is it something that is used internally? Is it used to indicate the search weight-age and provide more importance to some fields?

PS. Thanks for the awesome package (and the million other things you did for the Meteor community :)

I think you are referring to the blog post on the instant search.

Isoscore is something we created to rank packages and it's not a feature of this package.

Oh ok. That's what I was assuming. It is also mentioned in the Readme section which got me confused. Just a quick question, if I do want a search which gives different weightage to different matched fields, is that possible with this package? Like if a text is present in 2 different fields, and based on the weightage, the search result of that text would be more relevant than the other and so would order accordingly.

I am wondering the same thing. Could someone explain what different isoscore values will do exactly?
