including "time" as a factor in relevance?
I need to have my search result relevance influenced by time. Older things in my index are less relevant than newer things. I don't want to do a strict sort by date. Is this supported somehow by using a dismax request handler? Or if you have other hints, I'm eager to know what they are. phil. -- Whirlycott Philip Jacob [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.whirlycott.com/phil/

I've recently used solr's FunctionQuery to do just this with great success. Take a look at FunctionQuery and ReciprocalFloatFunction. If I have some time later today, I'll put together a simple example. cheers! Brent

Or if you have other hints, I'm eager to know what they are. dismax handler has a bf (boosting function) parameter that may be used to specify a function over the date field. You could try something like setting bf to recip(rord(mydatefield),1,1000,1000)^0.5 A reciprocal function over the reverse ordinal of the date field, with a weight of .5 (adjust weight until you get the right balance) http://incubator.apache.org/solr/docs/api/org/apache/solr/request/DisMaxRequestHandler.html -Yonik
RE: client code for searching?
I've been meaning to write some companion code to do searching. I haven't needed to search from Java yet, so I haven't written it.

Solr has integrated highlighting
Those who aren't subscribed to solr-dev may be interested to know that the lucene highlighter has been integrated into Solr, for both the standard request handler, and the dismax handler. See the highlight, highlightFields, and maxSnippets params documented here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/StandardRequestHandler When highlighting is enabled, a new "highlighting" section is added to responses. Highlighted terms are marked up like so: term Below is a sample for query terms ipod, USB In the real response, the markup tags are XML escaped so each highlight snippet is a single string. car power adapter for iPod, white iPod & iPod Mini USB 2.0 Cable playback, Upgradeable firmware, USB 2.0 compatibility, Playback speed control, Rechargeable capability Apple 60 GB iPod with Video Playback Black The Lucene version in Solr was just updated to fix a highlighting bug with overlapping tokens, so you may want to wait for the 7/16 nightly solr build if you use WordDelimiterFilter. -Yonik
Re: client code for searching?
I added my code to jira in case anybody's interested. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-30 phil.
