Hi!

I am adding a order function in a customers existing search.
They still want to have Best Bets at the top of the page. But when using OrderBy in the result, the Best Bet hits get ordered according på update date.

Is it possible to order by date, but still keep BestBet at the top?

The customer are using EpiServer.Find 13.5 with Episerver CMS 11.20


Best Regards

Hi Niklas

Content matching best bets are boosted on relevance score so when ordering by date you will be ignoring the relevance score.
You could let update date influence relevance score with .UsingAutoBoost()

If you're using UnifiedSearch you should be able to check what results are best bets (UnifiedSearchHit.IsBestBet). You could rearrange the results after they are returned based on this.
