问题
I have sets of 3 identical (in Text) items in Azure Search varying on Price and Points. Cheaper products with higher points are boosted higher. (Price is boosted more then Points, and is boosted inversely).
However, I keep seeing search results similar to this.
Search is on ‘john milton’.
I get
Product="Id = 2-462109171829-1, Price=116.57, Points= 7, Name=Life of Schamyl / John Milton Mackie, Description=.", Score=32.499783
Product="Id = 2-462109171829-2, Price=116.40, Points= 9, Name=Life of Schamyl / John Milton Mackie, Description=.", Score=32.454872
Product="Id = 2-462109171829-3, Price=115.64, Points= 9, Name=Life of Schamyl / John Milton Mackie, Description=.", Score=32.316270
I expect the scoring order to be something like this, with the lowest price first.
Product="Id = 2-462109171829-3, Price=115.64, Points= 9, Name=Life of Schamyl / John Milton Mackie, Description=.", Score=
Product="Id = 2-462109171829-2, Price=116.40, Points= 9, Name=Life of Schamyl / John Milton Mackie, Description=.", Score=
Product="Id = 2-462109171829-1, Price=116.57, Points= 7, Name=Life of Schamyl / John Milton Mackie, Description=.", Score=
What am I missing or are minor scoring variations acceptable?
The index is defined as
let ProductDataIndex =
let fields =
[|
new Field (
"id",
DataType.String,
IsKey = true,
IsSearchable = true);
new Field (
"culture",
DataType.String,
IsSearchable = true);
new Field (
"gran",
DataType.String,
IsSearchable = true);
new Field (
"name",
DataType.String,
IsSearchable = true);
new Field (
"description",
DataType.String,
IsSearchable = true);
new Field (
"price",
DataType.Double,
IsSortable = true,
IsFilterable = true)
new Field (
"points",
DataType.Int32,
IsSortable = true,
IsFilterable = true)
|]
let weightsText =
new TextWeights(
Weights = ([|
("name", 4.);
("description", 2.)
|]
|> dict))
let priceBoost =
new MagnitudeScoringFunction(
new MagnitudeScoringParameters(
BoostingRangeStart = 1000.0,
BoostingRangeEnd = 0.0,
ShouldBoostBeyondRangeByConstant = true),
"price",
10.0)
let pointsBoost =
new MagnitudeScoringFunction(
new MagnitudeScoringParameters(
BoostingRangeStart = 0.0,
BoostingRangeEnd = 10000000.0,
ShouldBoostBeyondRangeByConstant = true),
"points",
2.0)
let scoringProfileMain =
new ScoringProfile (
"main",
TextWeights =
weightsText,
Functions =
new List<ScoringFunction>(
[
priceBoost :> ScoringFunction
pointsBoost :> ScoringFunction
]),
FunctionAggregation =
ScoringFunctionAggregation.Sum)
new Index
(Name = ProductIndexName
,Fields = fields
,ScoringProfiles = new List<ScoringProfile>(
[
scoringProfileMain
]))

All indexes in Azure Search are split into multiple shards allowing us for quick scale up and scale downs. When a search request is issued, it’s issued against each of the shards independently. The result sets from each of the shards are then merged and ordered by score (if no other ordering is defined). It is important to know that the scoring function weights query term frequency in each document against its frequency in all documents, in the shard!
It means that in your scenario, in which you have three instances of every document, even with scoring profiles disabled, if one of those documents lands on a different shard than the other two, its score will be slightly different. The more data in your index, the smaller the differences will be (more even term distribution). It’s not possible to assume on which shard any given document will be placed.
In general, document score is not the best attribute for ordering documents. It should only give you general sense of document relevance against other documents in the results set. In your scenario, it would be possible to order the results by price and/or points if you marked price and/or points fields as sortable.
