Does scoring mode 2 replace all default weighting rules?

[dcook]

I'd like to increase the weighting of one metadata class: "keyword". So that query matches are more likely to appear at the top of the result list.

It looks like this is the way to do it, but I'm not 100% sure how to use it.

https://docs.funnelback.com/15.20/customise/metadata-customisation/controlling-metadata-field-weighting.html

By default link text, clicked queries and titles are included (-sco=2[k,K,t]).

It appears that if I want to keep the default weighting, I should use these values and append my own rules. I only need to add a wmeta value for the added metadata class. Is this correct? Eg to double the weighting of keywords:

 -sco=2[k,K,t,keyword] -wmeta.keyword=2.0

PS is there any way to troubleshoot how the weighting is working? Someone once showed me a screen with a graph of what factors were at play, but I can't find it myself. I can't find any useful into in the json api either.

My next question is, should the metadata field weighting appear in this graph? Is it part of the 'content' value? It seems to be.

I think it is part of the content value.
