Python 2.7 has reached end of support
and will be
deprecated
on January 31, 2026. After deprecation, you won't be able to deploy Python 2.7
applications, even if your organization previously used an organization policy to
re-enable deployments of legacy runtimes. Your existing Python
2.7 applications will continue to run and receive traffic after their
deprecation date. We recommend that
you
migrate to the latest supported version of Python.
class RescoringMatchScorer
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Class RescoringMatchScorer allows you to sort documents based on the quality
of query match. It is similar to a
MatchScorer
but uses a more complex scoring algorithm based on match term frequency and other factors like field type.
Please be aware that this algorithm is continually refined and can change over time without notice. This means that the ordering
of search results that use this scorer can also change without notice.
To use a RescoringMatchScorer, add it to the SortOptions as in the following code:
sort_opts = search.SortOptions(match_scorer=search.RescoringMatchScorer())
This sorts the documents in descending score order. The scores will be
positive.
If you want to sort in ascending order, then use the following code:
sort_opts = search.SortOptions(match_scorer=search.RescoringMatchScorer(),
expressions=[search.SortExpression(
expression='_score', direction=search.SortExpression.ASCENDING,
default_value=0.0)])
The scores in this case will be negative.
RescoringMatchScorer is defined in the google.appengine.api.search module.
Constructor
The constructor for class RescoringMatchScorer is defined as follows:
- class RescoringMatchScorer()
Assigns a document score to search results representing how well they match the query, base on frequency of terms in the document and weighted by doc parts.
Result value
A new instance of class RescoringMatchScorer.
Exceptions
- TypeError
If any of the parameters have an invalid type, or an unknown attribute is passed.
- ValueError
If any parameter has an invalid value.
