Relevance sort order #2845

Reporter: michiel[at]ict4schools.nl [Submitted to the original trac issue database at 10.27pm, Monday, 29th March 2010]

The order of the results are not ordered correctly by relevance.

Searching for example on: Leliestraat 31, Zwolle (http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Leliestraat+31%2C+Zwolle&viewbox=-225%2C82.34%2C225%2C-74.45)

Gives the following results:

Leliestraat, Hattem, Berghuizen, Zwolle, 8051EH, Gelderland, Nederland
Leliestraat, Rouveen, Staphorst, 7954, Overijssel, Nederland
Leliestraat, Zwolle, Schelle, 8012, Overijssel, Nederland
Leliestraat, Zwolle, Schelle, 8013, Overijssel, Nederland

Because Hattem is a city besides Zwolle, it is in the same region. So that's why Hattem is also included in this results. Now this is no problem, but because Zwolle is a city in itself, Zwolle should be higher in the order then Hattem.

So I suggest to put in the sorting algoritm, a relevance options. Maybe on the client side instead of the database side, because tsearch doesn't support that currently.

See #2681

Version 2 of Nominatim already has this fixed but isn't ready for deployment just yet.
