function addCustomTiebreak( tiebreakId : int, tiebreakParam : int ) |
Parameters
- tiebreakId
- One of the Ids specified in the table above.
- tiebreakParam
- An int parameter which is explained in the table above.
Remarks
Each tiebreaking option has integer identifier and a possible integer parameter (most ignore the parameter). The tiebreaks are given in the table below.
| NetricsSearchOpts.tiebreak_types.TIEBREAK_RECLEN | Deprecated. This is identical to TIEBREAK_SCORETYPE on symmetric score. | ignored |
| NetricsSearchOpts.tiebreak_types.TIEBREAK_RECID | By record key - this can be used to guarantee a stable sort of tied records | ignored |
| NetricsSearchOpts.tiebreak_types.TIEBREAK_ALIGNMENT | By querylet alignment - records which the query matches closer to the beginning will come first. This applies only to cognate or simple queries. | ignored |
| NetricsSearchOpts.tiebreak_types.TIEBREAK_SCORETYPE | By scoretype - you can tiebreak by a different scoretype than you're sorting on | The scoretype - described in NetricsSearchOpts.sortScore |
| NetricsSearchOpts.tiebreak_types.TIEBREAK_FIELDVAL | By field value - strings will be sorted from high to low and numeric values from low to high | The integer value of the field number to use (zero based) |
Any number of tiebreaks may be added. The first tiebreak added will be the primary sort, the second will be the secondary sort, and so on (e.g. if the records are still tied after the first tiebreak, the second will then be used).
