<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Just passing this along in case anyone has been looking at searching (simple and advanced) and wondering about how to make relevance ranking results the default for at least the 3.3.12 (version we are running) of Eprints.
As usual… your millage may vary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In our Eprints 3.3.12 instance we changed the following files and ran ‘epadmin reload {archive}’ to make the changes stick.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
