search is not giving obvious results

[Jacqueline JonesParticipant]

Hello,
There are two phrases must show up in the site’s search results but i can’t figure out the necessary settings:

this phrase doesn’t show up in the search at all:
Find an eye doctor

This phrase shows up as number 22 in the search list:
Find a doctor

both phrases are extremely important because the website is about glaucoma (a disease of the eye). They should turn up very close to the top of the list of search results in the subject line.

there are other searches with the same kind of problem.

thanks!

Hi Jacqueline,

Thank you for all the details, it helps us a lot!

It was only a minor configuration issue with the index table. The stop words feature was enabled, and the keywords list contained the word “find” – so it was not having any effect on the search when entered, in fact it caused the search to fall back to a secondary logic.
I turned off that feature, and now every result seem to look much more relevant.

Best,
