Prioritizing content more effectively in search

Feature
25

@tgxworld has done A LOT recently to improve the story here.

Including:

  • Smarter indexing (we clean up a lot of previous mess that used to live in indexes)

  • Per category search weights

  • Smarter relevance scoring (that takes into account the length of posts better)

and more…

So for the OP here we used to have:

We now have:

I find the new results a lot better.

We are not 100% done with the OP, it may make sense to do per-topic priority at some point and allow mods to promote topics.

But … instead of carrying this topic open for more years I feel we can close this off for now.

@tgxworld will do a writeup about the new admin knobs once he is done.
