R – programmatic way to influence the rank of search results in MOSS (Sharepoint) 2007

full-text-searchmosssharepoint

Searches in Sharepoint rely on SQL Server as far as I know.

I have an internal search project based on MOSS 2007, where users can search keywords in archives. My idea is to take some statistics data (page hits, recent visits, user voting, etc.) into consideration and affect the final rank returned to the user.

So, is there a way to influence the rank of search results?

Take a look at this MSDN article. And this, Improving relevance.

Also, you can affect the ranking by weighting managed properties, described here.

Brian Wilson has a blog article about Fine tuning search relevancy.
