Search query not returning results with expected relevance score. about laravel-searchy HOT 3 CLOSED

Hmm... that is unusual. If you remove the relevance limit do you get any result? If you do, what relevance score does it return?

When the relevancy filter is removed everything being returned has a relevancy of 1 or 2. I think I need to modify the weightings of the FuzzySearchDriver matchers and see if it helps make things more relevant as I am searching within a index of sanitized body content as opposed to using this as a search for a crud interface.

Yes, generally if it isn't returning what you are after I would suggest rolling your own Matcher and search driver based on the type of data that you have. Searchy is targeted at shorter strings and the type of searching you are looking for is generally very slow. A matcher similar to the following should do something closer to what you are after:

<?php

class ChunksMatcher extends BaseMatcher
{
    protected $operator = 'LIKE';

    public function formatSearchString($searchString)
    {
        return implode('%', explode(' ', $searchString)).'%';
    }
}

and then juts include it in your own search driver. This is similar to the start of string matcher but excludes the space before the word to make it start on the words. On large sets of data this will be fairly slow however.
