Change Sort options to list "best match" or "relevancy" at the top

Hi,

The results are default sorted by relevancy. Why do they have class active... good question :)

I'm not sure. Perhaps RobertDouglass or DrunkenMonkey can answer that.

Putting in my $0.01 worth of usability knowledge, a "sort by relevancy" (rank? score? relevancy?) link is missing, and should be added (makes the interface clearer-- if none of the current sorts are selected, how would the user know what the default sort is?)

@janusman:

Let's add a sort by irrelevancy link as well...

@brunodbo:

Relevancy is based on a myriad of factors, but is primarily how frequently the keyword appeared in the article, and where in the article. However, indexes can also be biased by date, length, etc...

I'm updating this ticket title to what actually has to be done as per janusman's suggestion.

I don't know why the current sorts have class active. Probably because the path stays the same and the sort parameter gets sent in with its own variable name.

Adding a default sort by relevancy that clearly shows itself as active is a good idea. This also functions as an "unclick" link if you've done some other sort and want to get back to the original state.

critical = blocking issue for 1.0 release.

I've added a sort by "Relevancy" link as a part of a separate issue #270604: Clicking facet link destroys sort. Did not deal with "irrelevancy".. umm...

I also noticed that this may overlap with yet another larger effort #258626: Add "your current search" block

@pahariwalla: you're joking with the irrelevancy thing, right? =)

I say this is fixed as per #270604: Clicking facet link destroys sort!

heh heh ... actually @JacobSingh was the one who brought up irrelevancy ... I'm guessing he was joking, but the fact the he mentioned it may be relevant, and knowing Jacob .... ;-)

Okay, I guess we'll go with relevancy then...
