CMS 10.6 Setting Boost Multipliers for Page Types


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

Administrators can boost the relevance of defined content so that the content displays higher in search result lists.
To set a boost for a page type:
  1. Navigate to Administration > InSite Search > Boost.
  2. Select the Page Types tab in the InSite Search Configuration pane.
    Indexed page types display in the Page Type list.
  3. Select the publishing target where the page type boosts will apply via the Publishing Target drop-down list.
    Note
    If multiple publishing targets will use the page type boosts, then, after you finish setting your configurations, you can batch apply the settings to multiple publishing targets.

  4. In the Boost Value column, change the boost value of each corresponding page type to suit your needs. Enter the number value manually or use the number picker arrows within the field.

    See About Boost Multipliers for details about boost value changes.

    Tip
    You can use Find Page Types field to search for page types in the list.

    The system applies your InSite Search configuration changes to the other publishing targets.
