Tonie/Tonies: improve "All" search results for these terms
For "All" search for Tonie or Tonies, improve the search functionality such that Tonies records appear at the top of the search results.
Currently, "All" searches for Tonies or Tonie put results related to the word Tony (in title, author, etc.) at the top of the search results. This is making it difficult for patrons to discover the records for our very popular Tonie characters. I understand from customer support that the term Tonies is currently been treated as a variation of the name 'Tony' in Vega, which is why searches with the most relevancy for 'Tony' are returned when searching for 'Tonies' or 'Tonie.'

Hi Laura,
It looks like when you catalog your Tonieboxes (very cool btw, Angela and I looked them up) that you're putting the word Toniebox in the title and that you're giving them a Series Title of Tonieboxes and Tonies. These things do particularly help you get better results when searching just 'Tonies' or 'Tonie' in Vega. The Series is great and can help you create a showcase for these as well which you'll be able to promote in search results when we index showcases into search in the future. Right now in your Vega Discover, when I search 'tonies' in the Series Title search I get pretty much perfect results. In the Everything search, you do get 3 of the available toniebox titles on the first page of results with the first one at #2 after Tony Bennett. :)
We don't want to change our relevancy to be too strict in regard to stemming or the minority of patron searches 20% or less that are not looking for a specific title would not garner good results. How do you feel about your search results after cataloging some records?
Best Regards,
