Is it possible to have search show results for title first and then content (or another sorting option)? I am using toolset for a food blog and something like Apple turns up Apple Cider Vinegar and Pineapple.

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I am not sure to understand what would you mean? Do you mean, display results by relevance? those that have the search keyword on the title first, then those that have it in the content?
This is not possible. The search is done on the database level and is performed against, both, the title and the content. Then the sorting is not context-aware, it is alphabetical. And currently, the secondary sorting options do not contain the content option, check this screenshot hidden link

I hope this answers your question. Otherwise, please elaborate more on what you try to build.
