Opensolr Search for WordPress 1.0.5 Adds the Minimum Relevance Score Slider
Opensolr Search for WordPress 1.0.5 adds the Minimum Relevance Score slider to Search Tuning, bringing the plugin in line with the Opensolr admin and the Drupal module.
01 What the slider does
Hybrid search always returns something, and the tail of that list can be very weakly related to the query. The Minimum Relevance Score sets a floor: hits scoring below it are dropped, so catalog and content searches come back cleaner.
The threshold applies to facet counts as well as to the result list, so the counts beside each facet reflect the results you can actually see.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
Minimum Relevance Score | Slider in Search Tuning |
| Increment | 0.1 |
| Default | 0.3 |
The same control already exists in the Opensolr admin and in the Drupal module, and behaves identically in all three.
