Re: Matching a string across multiple fields

So on with the questions.  I'm indexing music, and I have artist and 
title fields.  It works great if I just search for the artist or just 
for the title, but if I search for a string of both, that artist, 
title combination does not come up first.


For example, I have:
artist: Whitney Houston
title: Saving All My Love For You

artist: Whitney Houston
title: If I Told You That

artist: Whitney Houston
title: Exhale

If I search for "Whitney Houston Exhale", I would expect that song to 
come up first, but it doesn't.  Is there a special kind of matching or 
field setup I need to do for that?


Sounds like you need to copy those 2 fields into one and then just 
search that one field. Also checkout the min-should-match settings if 
you are using the dismax handler

What would be more useful would be randomizing closely related hits.  
IE hits within 5% of each other

Can someone explain a useful case for the RandomSortField?


People sometimes have requirements to show different results to
everyone (essentially randomly shuffling matches per person).

Re: Random Field

Example use case: We have a bunch of items sold by multiple sellers. I  
would rather show closely related items  distributed by seller rather  
than clumps of items by the same seller. This will be more of a "fair"  
scoring for sellers. The scores should be within a certain percentage  
of each other to still return relevant results.


Would you mine providing an example of random sort in a boost function/ 
function query. Thanks

This is not the use case I've encountered multiple times in the  
past, but
it should also be doable by using the random field in a function  
query.
