 * Before I install this can you tell me:
 * In the Admin Post Editor, am I able to do this search:
 * search all posts and find this “word/phrase” that ” is not in” this category …
   I want to list all the posts that should be assigned but are not.
 * I have to go back and assign posts to Categories but some of them are already
   assigned.
 * My problem now is that the search finds all of the posts but the search result
   is not sorted, I end up with a bunch already in the right category and then some
   that aren’t.
 * It sounds like a simple problem but I have a lot of articles and a lot of categories
   and manually going through the search results for a bunch of different search
   terms is deadly.
 * Any advice appreciated.

 * No, that is not possible with Relevanssi. Relevanssi is a front-end search, and
   all the features are available on the front end. Relevanssi also works in the
   admin backend, but with fewer options, and I don’t think you can do this with
   Relevanssi.

 * Alright, thanks for the reply.
