# Query Ranking
> **Legacy feature**
>
> The Coveo Hive Framework is now in maintenance mode and is no longer recommended for new implementations.
>
> To build new search experiences, use one of Coveo's more modern, lightweight, and responsive libraries.
> To get started, see the [Build search](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2473/) article.
Implements the **CoveoForSitecoreRankingExpression** component which represents a [query ranking expression (QRE)](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1472/) created from rules defined in the Sitecore Rules Editor.
This query ranking expression is added to the [advanced query expression (`aq`)](https://docs.coveo.com/en/175/) on calls to the Search API to modify the item ranking `score` value.
## Usage notes
* The Sitecore Rules Editor is only available with the Enterprise Edition.
The Sitecore Rules Editor is required to set `Boost expression rules` in the data source.
* The **{doctitle}** rendering is added automatically with the **Coveo Search Interface** rendering and **Coveo Tab** renderings.
* Insert the **Coveo Relevancy Sort** rendering and select this sorting criterion for your result list to obtain document `score` values.
Otherwise, `score` values will be zero on all result items.
* Boosting is cumulative.
When you specify boosting rules on the **Coveo Search Interface** and on the active **Coveo Tab**, items matching both rules are boosted by the sum of both `modifier` numbers.

Boost expression rules
|List of condition-action rules created in the Sitecore Rules Editor.
The Coveo Boosting `number` is used as the QRE `modifier` value, which is correlated to the item ranking `score` by a 1 to 10 ratio.

## Sample Generated HTML and Corresponding Result
To boost the `score` of commerce items currently on sale by 1000 points, you define the following query ranking rule with a `number` value of 100 (as per the `modifier`-`score` 1 to 10 ratio) in the **Coveo Search Interface** data source:
