03:58 PMgroup_by and group_limit flag, is there any way to sort inside the group so we can use group_limit to just get the few entries we need?

04:05 PMsort_by is used to sort the result. which can be tricky because the default search result sequence seems to be based on matching. exact match always comes first, but when using sort_by, that sequence is disrupted.Kishore Nallan

04:08 PMgroup_limit. I use the shoe example in the document, group_by=brand&group_limit=3 returns certain brands and limit 3, but what if I want to have a the first 3 to favor in_stock? something like group_by=brand&group_limit=3&group_sort_by:inStock:desc would helpKishore Nallan
04:10 PMsort_by=inStock:desc then even within the group the top-3 items based on inStock only will be picked I think. But maybe I am wrong.Morgan

04:13 PMsort_by=_text_match:desc,inStock:descKishore Nallan

04:14 PMupdates: that seemed working for me. I will play and see.

_text_match works but looks like we still cannot get the inStock first in each group. After all, sort_by=_text_match:desc,inStock:desc works after 3 entries are taken from each group. The 3 entries taken are not guaranteed to have favored inStock.
