Hi,

First let me explain the logic behind here :) We have a list of "images" in
a mySQL DB, which we are indexing (fine)

We have the following fields:

1) description - a text field, separated by whitespace
2) keywords - a text field, separated by whitespace
3) download_count (a "sint", i.e sortable int)

What we are doing currently is:

(keywords:"st" AND keywords:"patricks") OR (description:"st" AND
description:"patricks")

...and then doing the "sort" with:

   score desc, download_count desc

The results work ok, but ideally we would like to give higher priority for
those links that match the query, and then have a higher "download_count"
value

For example, we have say 2 records:

Keywords:  st patricks some other keywords here
Description: st irish holiday
View Count: 54343

Keywords:  st patricks some other keywords here
Description: st patricks  irish holiday
View Count: 543

The 2nd record would currently show up higher for me, due to the fact we
have "st patricks" in both the "keywords" and "description" fields... but
what we ideally want, is for the "view count" to actually increase the
ranking a bit more, to hopefully bring the results higher up

We've tried doing stuff like:

sort=download_count

..but that doesn't do what we need (it simply sorts by the number of
downloads, instead of giving a higher ranking based on the number of views)

I've had a look on google regarding this, but can't seem to find anything
like the above.

Any ideas/advice are much appreciated :)

TIA
