GSA对所有页面进行排序

Question

Does Google search provide sorting option on metadata. I have requirement that suggest to sort contents on there popularity and place them using pagination. We are pushing download/view count on each content to GSA as metadata.

All the results that are returned in the search result are placed in order by download/view count, so that the first page would show the most used content and then in following pages we would start to see the less frequently used content.

Answer 1

Yes it is indeed possible to sort by meta-data in GSA

Refer https://www.google.com/support/enterprise/static/gsa/docs/admin/72/gsa_doc_set/xml_reference/request_format.html#1083224

Use sort=meta:metaname parameter to do this.

Bumping the old thread since the previous answer was incorrect.

Answer 2

nv185001,

Based upon the documentation the GSA will only perform a sort on content relevance and date. You may attempt to develop a OneBox that queries a source for the top downloaded content based upon the search query term. This would at least incorporate the desired results into your FrontEnd.
