Hello,
Is there any implicit/explicit ranking mechanism for the results obtained using API for full text search?
example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=Institution&format=xml
If possible, can some one throw some light on the ranking?
Thanks,
Best Regards

The earlier it appears, the more relevant it is expected to be, although the way relevance is determined is something internal by the search backend being used.
