CMS 10.6 Setting Boost Multipliers for Fields in Page Types

Prerequisites: Administrators must configure page types and fields before configuring boost multipliers. See CMS 10.6 Search Indexing for details.

Once page types have been selected for indexing, administrators can apply boosts to individual text-based fields from each page type.

To set a boost for a field within a page type:
  1. Navigate to Administration > InSite Search > Boost.
  2. Select the Fields in Page Types tab in the InSite Search Configuration pane.
  3. Select the publishing target where the field boosts will apply via the Publishing Target drop-down list.
    Note
    If multiple publishing targets will use the field boosts, then, after you finish setting your configurations, you can batch apply the settings to multiple publishing targets.

  4. In the Page Types list, select the page type containing the text-based fields you want to boost.
    Tip
    You can use Find Page Types field to search for page types in the list.
    The fields associated with the page type display in the Boost Search Priority of Field in Page Type list.

    InSite Search > Boost > Fields in Page Types

  5. In the Boost Value column, change the boost value of each corresponding page field to suit your needs. Enter the number value manually or use the number picker arrows.
    You can change the boost value for as many listed fields as you want. See About Boost Multipliers for details about changing boost values.
    Tip
    You can use Find Fields to search for page fields in the Boost Search Priority of Field in Page Type list.
  6. Select Save.
  7. Optional: If you want to batch apply your InSite Search configuration changes to additional publishing targets, then complete the following steps.
    Warning
    This tool batch applies your other InSite Search configuration changes (i.e., index and custom settings) along with your boost settings to the additional publishing targets. After batch applying these changes, previous configurations cannot be recovered.
    1. Select Apply All Settings to... in the bottom-right corner of the InSite Search configuration pane.
      The Apply to Publishing Targets dialog displays.

      Add to Publishing Targets Dialog

    2. Select the additional publishing targets where you want your InSite Search configuration changes to apply, and click OK.
      Tip
      You can use the Publishing Target Name field to search for available publishing targets.
    The system applies your InSite Search configuration changes to the other publishing targets.
