Document Weight Can't Post

I am trying to make it so that when a user searches for something, it will show the results of pages containg the same extact phrase a user enters as the first search result. Currently, I have the document weight for Content Body as #5 and everything else is 0. When the user searches for something that is exactly entered in a document body, the results come up with the page having the exact phrase as like result number 15 or so. Pages that contain part of the phrase come up as the top results. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Please help. Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the post! :)

How are you searching for an exact phrase? When searching for an exact phrase are you putting quotation marks around your search phrase?

e.g. "the quick brown fox"

Pages that contain part of a phrase shouldn't be returned in the search results if you placed quotation marks around your phrase. Let me know if this works or if your results still don't show up properly.

If this doesn't work, send me an email to support@interactivetools.com with a link to your Search Engine (search.cgi) so I can try some test searches to get a better idea of what might be causing the phrases not to show up first.

When I do a simple search for a phrase without quotes, the results page returns the results with first listing pages that contain part of the phrase then showing the pages that contains the entire phrase. When I do the simple search with quotes around the phrase, it then returns results with pages containing the exact phrase like it should.
