Ferret talk - Aug 2006 - Are the results in the order of relevancy

I am using aaf and things are working fine.

I''m just curious to find  out if the results are returned in the order 
of relevancy of the search term.

I am thinking of getting the ids and further processing those ids and 
returning the result in a different order. Then it struck me what if the 
results are in the order of relevancy. Based on the answer to the 
question I''ll formulate my policy.

Thanks

yes, Ferret''s search results (and therefore acts_as_ferret''s,
too) are
ordered by relevancy when no custom sorting is used.
