Are the results in the order of relevancy

Ruby Apps Ferret

I am using aaf and things are working fine.

I’m just curious to find out if the results are returned in the order
of relevancy of the search term.

I am thinking of getting the ids and further processing those ids and
returning the result in a different order. Then it struck me what if the
results are in the order of relevancy. Based on the answer to the
question I’ll formulate my policy.

Thanks

yes, Ferret’s search results (and therefore acts_as_ferret’s, too) are
ordered by relevancy when no custom sorting is used.
