Creates a new rank profile to calculate relevance in queries.

Syntax

New-FASTSearchMetadataRankProfile -Name <String> [-Template <RankProfile>]

Detailed Description

A rank profile controls the relevancy calculation for a query. It consists of several components which are weighted so that the relevancy calculation fits the content. See Set-FASTSearchMetadataRankProfile for more details.

A rank profile can either be created with default values, or based on another existing rank profile using the Template parameter.

The rank profile is typically specified as part of a query. If no rank profile is specified in the query, the default rank profile is used.

Parameters

Name	Required	System.String	The name of the new rank profile.
Template	Optional	Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Extended.Administration.Schema.RankProfile	An object representing the rank profile that will serve as a template in creating the new rank profile.
