Class RescoringMatchScorer allows you to sort documents based on the quality
of query match. It is similar to a
MatchScorer
but uses a more complex scoring algorithm based on match term frequency and other factors like field type.
Please be aware that this algorithm is continually refined and can change over time without notice. This means that the ordering
of search results that use this scorer can also change without notice.
To use a RescoringMatchScorer, add it to the SortOptions as in the following code:
sort_opts = search.SortOptions(match_scorer=search.RescoringMatchScorer())
This sorts the documents in descending score order. The scores will be positive.
If you want to sort in ascending order, then use the following code:
sort_opts = search.SortOptions(match_scorer=search.RescoringMatchScorer(),
expressions=[search.SortExpression(
expression='_score', direction=search.SortExpression.ASCENDING,
default_value=0.0)])
The scores in this case will be negative.
RescoringMatchScorer is defined in the google.appengine.api.search module.
