Description

Is it already possible to randomize the results? Faceted Search allows a user to order the results. The feature request i have in mind is:

that each time a resultpage is given, i want the results showed in a different order. The results should show up in a randomized order. For example, if you search for a store that sells flowers in a particular city. Search for Manhattan should give the first time for example:

store x
store y
store z

the next time

store y
store x
store z

and so on...randomized

Administrators should be able to randomize the shown results. Unfortunately i'm not a Drupal developper, so i don't know where to start, but i guess it is not that difficult to implement. Should be a great feature if you have a commercial site where stores can be found to not always show the same sequence of results, so that the first store 'A...' gets the most of it...

Can anyone help?

Does anyone knows a solution for this? If not is there anyone who can make a patch or something to add this functionality, for me it's ok if all results appear random. I'm willing to sponsor this.
