Default search type

Post by legedza.henry »

Can the default way that Webinator searches are done be set differently.

eg at the moment when our users search for multiple words Webinator finds the various words irrespective if they scattered throughout the document.

Can webinator be set so that if users type in multiple words it will only return results where the words are together eg global budget management tool will only return results with those 4 words together.

I know using quotes will achieve the same result but the majority of our users don't do this as they are often one-off visitors to the site.

And it would be preferable at least for a short time to try the alternative arrangement.

Thanks

Or you could adjust the search settings to set word proximity and, maybe, proximity weights higher. (you need scripts version at least 4.3.6)
Or put them in the initial search url:
http:.../search/?rprox=1000&rorder=750
(those are the same variables you will find on the advanced search form)
