Ok, so our site has a bunch

sellers. Currently when I search

matching that search term but the

sold by the same seller that are

are related. So basically the

to distribute these results across

sell their goods). 

Is there

Product foo by Seller A
Product foo by Seller B
Product foo by Seller

Product foo by Seller B
Product foo by Seller C
Product foo by Seller 
> C
Product foo by Seller C

where each result is very close in score. I

Product foo by Seller A
Product foo by

Product foo by Seller C
Product foo by Seller A
Product foo by

Product foo by Seller C

Thanks!!!
