Sort by Keyword Groups
Sorting rules can also be assigned to keyword groups, which allow you to define extra sorting rules based on customer search terms.
For example, a search containing the term "inexpensive" can cause results to be sorted
from lowest to highest price regardless of the category the search is executed in.
Note: The
default sorting rule is assigned to all keyword searches, but is overridden by extra
keyword-specific sorting rules.
Terms within Keyword Groups are matched in the following order:
- Full matches over partial matches.
- Exact matches over wildcard matches.
- First match from left to right in the search string.
Conflicting keyword groups are applied in chronological order, from newest to oldest.
Keyword Sorting Groups are created, edited, and deleted within Search Dictionaries.
Also, keyword groups can be imported and exported using the search settings ImpEx module, and the assignments can be imported and exported using the sorting rule ImpEx module.
