additionalWeightFactor	String	The additional weight factor.

Return Value

String

Used in

Macro	Description
FacetedSearchQueryBuilder	Builds an SQL query for Faceted Search.

Remarks

The this.fieldweight() viper should be used to take physical field weights into account, which can be set using the (Physical) Field Weights cms manager action within the Faceted Search Console.

At the same time (when the base search query is being assembled) it can be used to take an age-factor into account using the modification date of an item:

this.fieldweight("dbo.fn_tsAgeInDays(c.moddate)", default="c."+this.fieldname()+"_weight")

Example

Faceted Search Query Xml - SearchBase Query Element Example (Fulltext)

The Faceted Search Query Builder macro (se:facetedsearchquerybuilder) contains a lot of local instance vipers. Usually, local instance vipers are used within the macro itself, e.g. formatting, but in this case the local instance vipers should only be used within a query xml definition.

This example shows a searchbase query element from a query xml definition in which some of the available local instance vipers are used. The example here is only applicable for a fulltext indexing scenario.
