Thanks Erick!
After reading your answer, and re-reading the Solr wiki, I realized my
folly. I used to think that index-time boosts when applied on a per-field
basis are equivalent to query time boosts to that field.
To ensure that my new understanding is correct , I'll state it in my words.
Index
I still think they are apples and oranges. If you boost *all* titles,
you're effectively boosting none of them. Index time boosting
expresses "this document's title is more important than other
document titles." What I think you're after is "titles are more
important than other parts of the documen
Hi Erick -
Maybe I mis-wrote.
My question is: would "title:any_query^4.0" be faster/slower than applying
index time boost to the field title. Basically, if I take *every* user query
and search for it in title with boost (say, 4.0) - is it different than
saying field title has boost 4.0?
Cheers,
I'll take a whack at index .vs. query boosting. They are expressing very
different concepts. Let's claim we're interested in boosting the title
field
Index time boosting is expressing "this document's title is X more important
than a normal document title". It doesn't matter *what* the title
Hi ,
I'm relatively new to Solr/Lucene, and am using Solr (and not lucene
directly) primarily because I can use it without writing java code (rest of
my project is python coded).
My application has the following requirements:
(a) ability to search over multiple fields, each with different weight
