Collection-Level Scoring in Typesense Multi-Search
TLDR Mile questioned the possibility of collection-level scoring in Typesense. Jason advised adjusting scores client-side, and requested Mile to create a GitHub issue to assess community interest.

04:21 PMmulti_search done on several collections. I would like to know if there is any way to influence the scoring on the collection level. For example, I have 2 collections, collection A and collection B. If we have an exact match on Field 1 in collection A, this should be ranked higher than an exact match on Field 1 in collection B. Is there a way of doing a cross-collection ranking? I tried using the query_by_weights and so far, I feel that the approach is limited. Note: we query 6-7 collections per multi-search.

04:34 PMYou would have to augment the text match score you receive from each multi_search with your own logic on the client-side to weight the scores as needed based on the collection
