This works exactly like the Craft 2 version of this plugin, where search results are weighted based on exact match and number of matches. The return results of the search differs from the traditional Craft search query in that it returns some extra meta information about the search results. Each result has these fields: `entry`, `excerpt` and `score`. The excerpt is in HTML format, where each instance of the search string has been marked up with the mark element. You can leverage entry as you would any other ElementCriteriaModel (eg. `{{searchresult.entry.title}}`). ### Editorially prioritizing an entry for a search term [](#editorially-prioritizing-an-entry-for-a-search-term) To enable manual prioritization of entries, create a field of type Tags, give it the handle prioritizedSearchTerms and add it to the relevant entry types. To give an entry prioritization in the search results for a given term, add that term as a tag in the entry's prioritizedSearchTerms field. The entry will receive a significant boost to its score, which will most likely be enough to "win" over any other entry (that doesn't also have the same tag). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-beta.23 or later. Installation ------------ [](#installation) 1. Then tell Composer to load the plugin: ``` composer require venveo/craft3-weightedsearch ``` 2. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Better Search. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance17 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 75% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
