Specify level of relevance applied to popularity sort

The system-level PAC profile, Most popular sort settings, automatically incorporates relevance into the Most popular sort option if this sort is selected for search results in the PowerPAC or Mobile PAC. The Polaris default setting provides a 50/50 balance between popularity and relevancy when the Most popular sort option is selected. If you want the sort to consider only the popularity of the titles, adjust the setting in the Most Popular Sort Settings dialog box to 100% popularity. If you adjust the sort settings and do not like the results, click Revert to return to the default setting of 50% popularity and 50% relevance.

To adjust the relevancy factor applied to most popular sorting of search results in the PowerPAC or Mobile PAC:

  1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Profiles folder at the System level, and click the PAC tab in the details view.
  2. Double-click Most popular sort settings.

  1. To adjust the Polaris default sort settings of 50/50, either click on an up or down arrow or move the slider. The % Relevance number increases as you move the slider right, and the % Popularity number increases as you move the slider left.

If you find that this adjustment is not what you expected, click Revert to restore the 50/50 default.

Any changes made to this dialog box are reflected immediately in PAC search results.
