Search weighting doesn't seem to work

just to add some detail to the same search:
………….
Events
…Celebrate the Beat with David on drums – Motown… body=5, title=0, tags=0 ,comments=0 Total hits:5, Search Terms= drums: 5, Score= 115.4
………….
Percussion and Drum Lessons
Private Percussion and Drum Lessons – David’s teaching studio / house calls / day of concert while traveling Styles offered – Drumset, frame drums, hand drums, and percussion. Logistics – When, where, what skill levels and ages. Teaching Methods and Philosophy – David meets his students… body=4, title=0, tags=0 ,comments=0 Total hits:4, Search Terms= drums: 4, Score= 92.32
…………..
What I notice is that the ‘Events’ page has 5 hits, and the ‘Percussion and Drum Lessons’ Page has 4 hits. Am I right in guessing that those hits must be coming from the html source, not from WordPress content?… and if so, is there a way to add weight to content?

No, Relevanssi doesn’t index any HTML source, just the WP content. The first post comes on top, because it has the search term five times, and not just four.

It’s going to be tricky to get the second post appear on top, because if you add weight to post content, the first post is going to get more of that extra weight.

I guess I don’t understand how its matching the search terms. Can you clarify? When I visit those two pages in a browser and use ctrl-F to search the page: DRUMS

The events page has the term one time.

The percussion and drum lessons page has it 4 times.

When I search for word “drums” on the Events page, I see it five times, like Relevanssi does, all in past events.

Indeed. Firefox was not finding those for some reason. (Edit: I had Match Case selected. Doh.) When I used a different browser there they were.

Thanks for the time and a great plugin.
