Query Profile

A Query Profile is a list of field names and their weights. It is used to configure the relevance ranking of searches against the Contentbox. When a user searches the Contentbox and doesn't supply an explicit field name in their search the store uses the Query Profile to determine which fields should be searched.

In this example query profile the field "name" is given a weight of 10 and the field "nick" is given a weight of 5:

    <bf:fieldWeight>
      <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://api.talis.com/stores/mystore/indexes/default/queryprofiles/default#nick">

        <frm:name>nick</frm:name>
      </rdf:Description>
    </bf:fieldWeight>
  </bf:QueryProfile>
</rdf:RDF>

This means that when a user searches for "bob" the store will rewrite that query internally to be "name:bob nick:bob" and will value occurences of bob in the name field twice as high as occurences in the nick field.

The query profile for a Store is managed via the Store Query Profile URI.
