Is there a way to know when a specific search result is a best bet

Created on 22 May 2025, 13 days ago

Problem/Motivation

We'd like to visually distinguish between best bet results that have been boosted, versus the rest of the normal results.

Is it possible to have a flag that indicates whether each given search result was boosted as part of a best bet match?

    To my knowledge there is not but can see it being a useful feature!

    Maybe there is heuristic approach, whereby the boost on the matched term field is so ridiculously high, you can safely group the bosted results as different from normal results from a numerical calculation. I wanted to see if there was an easy/known approach here. I haven't yet dug into the internals of how best bet works yet, but I presume architecturally it is similar to how other standard boosts work (maybe not though too).
