Relevancy sorting in FRBR version list display should use terms searched
FRBR groups and the display of versions within them does not consider the relevancy of the terms searched. Often a user is searching for a specific version within the FRBR group (ex: Homer's Iliad translated by Richmond Lattimore) but there is no way to focus in on this version within the list of FRBR versions. Even when users search specifically for terms: Iliad Lattimore, Lattimore is hidden within search results. Within the list of FRBR versions, sorting by Relevancy should use the terms searched by the user -- this should enable the works of a single translator (like Lattimore) to rise to the top of the list of results when that translator's name is explicitly included in the search, greatly improving discoverability and access.

shared this idea
In this enhancement, Primo VE will highlight the selected record on top of the list of FRBR versions, only for the preferred record mode.
We understand from the comments here that there is also a request to add this option for Generic mode, however in the generic mode we only show a link to the list of versions and not pointing for a specific record. In Generic mode we don't show any actions or availability status, and there is no option to open a full mode as this is not a specific representation of the record.
This is why we have chosen to implement this only for preferred mode.
Please provide some more clarifications for the generic mode request in a dedicated idea.
Best regards
