Advanced search not showing the most relevant results
This article provides a patch for the known ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Commerce issue, where the Advanced search does not show most relevant results first.
Description description
Environment
- ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Commerce (all deployment options) 2.x.x
- Magento Open Source 2.x.x
Issue
The advanced search function is not returning the most relevant results first, like the quick search is doing. The issue does not depend on the selected search engine type.
Steps to reproduce:
- On the storefront, go to the quick search and search for Fitted Jacket.
- Notice Orion Two-Tone Fitted Jacket  is the first result.
- Go to advanced search and search for Fitted Jacket  in the name field.
Expected result:
The Orion Two-Tone Fitted Jacket is the first result when using Advanced search, as the most relevant result.
Actual result:
The Orion Two-Tone Fitted Jacket is not the first result, though it is the most relevant.
