Sorting of Results

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Is this still relevant for you?

If so, did you configure the underlying search to sort results by Relevancy/Score, descending? Only then will the boost have any effect.
But even then it’s just a boost, not a fixed order. A Frage with lots of occurrences of the search term will still rank higher than a test with just a few occurrences. (A similar problem is discussed in ✨ Term Frequency limit processor feature Active .)
What happens when you search for the same string in the underlying search? Is the sorting as desired then? If not, then this is not a problem for this module, but either for the Search API or for whatever module provides the search backend you’re using.
But, as said above, everything might be working perfectly but the results might still be as they are, depending on how many times each item contains the word “Sennheiser” (and, depending on other boost settings, in which fields or HTML tags).

If you always want tests ranked first, then articles, etc., type-specific boosting is not really the right tool for you. You’d instead need to add a custom field with a type-based weight to the search index and just sort on that.

Thank you for the info. I understand now. We can close it then.
