Re: negative boosts for docs with common field value

We don't want to limit the number of results coming back, so unfortunately grouping doesn't quite fix it, plus it would, by nature, group docs by a particular Author together which might not necessarily be adjacent. On Thu, 6 Oct 2011 07:16:48 -0700 (PDT), Ahmet Arslan wrote: >> For the sake of

negative boosts for docs with common field value

Hi, For the sake of simplicity, I have an index with docs containing the following fields: Title Description Author Some searches will obviously be saturated by docs from any given author if they've simply written more. I'd like to give a negative boost to these matches, there-by making s

Re: Negative boosts

If you want documents returned in the same order as a field, it's easy... you sort! If you want the value of a field to influence a score, not determine the exact sort order, you can use FunctionQuery (currently hacked into the query parser as _val_:myfield) That seems like what I want -- boost

Re: Negative boosts

the documentation for parseFieldBoosts that the routine "Doesn't care if boost info is negative, you're on your own.", but what does that mean? AFAIK, negative scores and boosts at query time aren't really prohibited in Lucene, but neither are they really supported. I would a

Negative boosts

Hello, I have been developing a new search application based on Solr (Very nice!) using dismax. We are using query-time boosts to provide better search results for user queries and index-time boosts to promote certain documents over others. My question is about the latter: We have a "position" f
