Hi2u all.

I'd like to know how to change the ranking order implemented in
webinator.

If I'm not wrong at time of writing webinator should rank docs. in the
following order:

1)Title;
2) Meta;
3) Body.

On the contrary I'm in the need of the following "ranking order":

1)Meta;
2) Title;
3) Body.

Thanx.

You would have to create a metamorph inverted index on the Meta\Title\Body
virtual field. See http://www.thunderstone.com/texisman/node120.html
Something like:
texis -s -d YOURDBPATH "create metamorph inverted index xmalt on html(Meta\Title\Body)"
And adjust your search script to search "Meta\Title\Body" instead of
"Title\Meta\Body". You will also need to reissue that create statement
after walking new pages with gw, as gw won't know about your custom index.

To do this requires that you create indexes and perform the SQL queries
with the field orders specified differently.

Change the SQL statements that say
"select ... where Title\Meta\Body likep $q..."
to
"select ... where Meta\Title\Body likep $q..."

Also you must drop the index named xhtmlbod and recreate it
with "create metamorph inverted index xhtmlbod on html (Meta\Title\Body)"
This must be done every time you update the contents of the database.

This is all covered in greater detain in the Texis manual.

Thanks,
Bart
