Low Search Order Not Scoring As Expected

Jerad 9 Feb 2018 16:30 question, complete

I have set up Low Search on my local development environment and it is working, but I have tested it by searching for "testing" with all kinds of variations of settings. This word shows up in the title and 10 times on one of our pages and then it doesn't show up in the title of our Services page and is only 3 times in the content of the page but Services is showing up higher in the search results. I have the title weight set to 3 and the content set to 1. This shouldn't happen, should it?

    The relevance score is determined by MySQL's full-text mechanisms, which I can only influence to a certain degree, see also this answer for a more detailed explanation.
