Ordering by term then by relevance

Vote:
 

Hi

I need to band a set of results so that there are a number of custom bandings (represented by a numeric search priority) then ordered by relevance within that band. So far I have got 

ITypeSearch<ProductPageBase> result = resultsBase.OrderBy(x => x.SearchPriorityEffective);

to do this. Unfortunately this bands the results but destroys the relevance ordering within that banding. What would be ideal is if I could go

ITypeSearch<ProductPageBase> result = resultsBase.OrderBy(x => x.SearchPriorityEffective).ThenBy(x => x.Relevance);

but i can't see anywhere that the relevance of the search result is directly exposed. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this kind of sirting in find i.e. CustomSort -> then by -> relevance of the search results

Many Thanks for any all help

I notice that search hit has a nullable double for score but this is only available after a call to GetResults

I need that exposed on the order by query. 

Any suggestions????

Hi,

You can use the following extension for sorting by score: https://gist.github.com/lindstromhenrik/9779858

Hi Tim!

Any luck with what you did? I'm looking for implementing something similar.

Hi Jonathan,

We are using it and it works:

                results = results.OrderBy(x => x.SomeField).ThenByScore();

Hi David,

I was bold - tried it out and came to the same conclusion. Thanks Henrik et al.
