About

Virtual indices allow you to use Relevant sort, a sorting mechanism that favors relevancy over the attribute you’re sorting on. The relevantSort widget displays the current search mode when searching in a virtual replica index, and allows users to switch between Relevant and regular sorting, which is more exhaustive and can return less relevant results.

This component is part of the InstantSearch open source UI library that lets you quickly build a search interface in your frontend application.

InstantSearch’s goal is to help you implement awesome search experiences as smoothly as possible by providing a complete search ecosystem. InstantSearch tackles an important part of this vast goal by providing frontend widgets that you can assemble into unique search interfaces.
