972039 - Boost on exact matches in all locales

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Search, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Rob Hudson [:robhudson]]

At the moment we're doing a term query for exact matches on name. We use the 'name_sort' field b/c it's there already and is the not_analyzed field for name. This doesn't allow us to boost on exact matches in other locales, however.

We could do a multifield on the localized name fields. One for the analyzed field and one for non analyzed for term queries (and sorting?).

I'll add verification steps as soon as I verify the verification steps.

To verify:
* Submit an app that has a moderately unique name in any locale that is not the default locale. Multiple word names are good.
* Approve the app so it is public and included in search results.
* Search for the exact name in the non-default locale and it should be the first result in search results, assuming it is a unique name and the terms don't have a high frequency amongst all the apps.
