Order Sanity search results by matching field priority (title before subtitle)

Yes, you can definitely order search results by match priority using the score() and boost() functions in GROQ!

Here's how to prioritize title matches over subtitle matches:

*[title match "whatever" || subtitle match "whatever"]
| score(
  boost(title match "whatever", 4),
  boost(subtitle match "whatever", 1)
) 
| order(_score desc)

How it works:

1. The score() function computes a relevance score for each document based on your criteria
2. The boost() function assigns different weights to each condition - in this case, title matches get a weight of 4, while subtitle matches get a weight of 1
3. Results are ordered by the computed _score field in descending order, so title matches appear first

The _score field is automatically added to each document when you use the score() function, and you can adjust the boost weights to whatever ratio makes sense for your use case. Higher numbers = higher priority in the results.

You can also use this pattern with variables to make it more reusable:

*[title match $term || subtitle match $term]
| score(
  boost(title match $term, 4),
  boost(subtitle match $term, 1)
) 
| order(_score desc)

This approach is super flexible - you can add as many scoring criteria as you need with different weights to fine-tune your search result ranking!
