Question:
When searching documents in Vault, search results are returned in order of relevance based on the criteria listed in the help article Results Ranking.
If there are multiple documents with the same exact relevance score, which document will appear earlier in the search result?
Answer:
If there are multiple documents with the same exact relevance score, a secondary sort works on the Last Modified Date.
Example: If there are 2 documents with the same exact relevance score, the newer one appears higher.
