Connect applies a standard set of weightings to different categories of information (people, terms etc.) when returning search results. When combined with likes/dislikes, these determine the order in which results are returned - details below:
Alteryx Connect uses the following scoring parameters for the Lucene engine:
- Likes and Dislikes, using the following formula: (Number of Likes) / (Number of Likes + Number of Dislikes).
- Certified assets: +1.2
- Person: +2.4
- Term: +2.2
- Report: +2
- Report sheet: +1.8
- Alteryx workflow: +1.5
- Table: +1.4
It would be useful to have control over this weighting, e.g. when you have large numbers of Person records being returned before Terms; but advice from Customer Support has been that these are not currently customisable. I'd like to request that this ability be considered for inclusion in a future release of Connect.
