Re: Re: Combining Dismax and payload boosting

Hi Erik, I am answering on behalf of Victoria, my team leader. We needed (note the past tense!) to use the nice query parsing machinery of dismax as well as its disjunction scoring. We also wanted to flavor each sub-query dismax generates with payload values (for boosting) that were encoded at in

Re: Combining Dismax and payload boosting

Victoria, An example of specifically what types of queries you'd like to do would be helpful. Using nested queries you can leverage dismax and your custom query parser together, which may be what you're looking for. See this article for details on nested queries:

Combining Dismax and payload boosting

Hi, We are using payloads for score boosting. For this purpose we've implemented custom boosting QueryParser and similarity function. We followed http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2009/08/05/getting-started-with-payloads/ . On the other hand, we'd like to use dismax query handling because of it
