Please explain about "weight" in the Preferences>>Search Section


Recommended Posts

I have two questions:

I don't understand the "weight" terminology under Preferences>>Search Section? If someone can explain to me, I would really appreciate it.


Also I was reading my runtime info under phpmyadmin and it indicated that I'm having problems with indexing. I wonder if I click on "re-build your index" under" Indexation" under Preferences>>Search Section , would that help speed up my queries? My site is running slow because of this since I have over 20,000 items for sale each with unique "features".

Hope to get an answer soon :-)

No, going to Preferences > Search and rebuilding your index will not speed up your search results. It will only ensure that every product is indexed using the most up-to-date information.

The weights are used to choose the sort order of search results. Items with a higher weight will appear higher in the search results when they match.
