Hi all, I'm almost new to drupal.
Here is what I'm doing and my question.

I have a search block that should return results ordered by a particular field. Let's say, for example, that I'm looking on my drupal site all content type "book" for the world "magic" BUT I'd like to have those ordered by Author name or date of publication.

I tried the "Search Ranking" module but it provides me scoring factors only for predefined fields and not those I want. Also using faceted search i didn't find a way to implement such a behavior.

Can you point me to some module or give me any hint?

You probably need to learn how to use the Views module, which can do what you want to do, more or less. You can use the Filters section to do the searching, and the Sort section to define the ordering.

Thanks jhodgdon. VIEWS is the module I was looking at after reading the "Comparison of Search modules" articles. I guess I'll find a way to do what I need with it.
