boost a document which has a field not empty

[Zoltan Altfatter]

Hi,

I have one entity called organisation. I am indexing their name to be able
to search afterwards on their name.
I store also the website of the organisation. Some organisations have a
website some don't.
Can I achieve that when searching for organisations even if I have a match
on their name I will show first those which have a website.

Thank you.

Regards,
Zoltan

Yes, I am using edismax and the bq parameter did the trick. Thanks a lot.

return distance in geo spatial query

Hi,

Would be interested in the status of the development in returning the
distance in a spatial query?
I would need the distance to be returned but also would need the
document score which is related to other criteria.

I am using solr 3.1.
