Index-time field boosting not working?

2009-11-18 Thread Ian Smith
I have the following field configured in schema.xml: Where "text" is the type which came with the Solr distribution. I have not been able to get this configuration to alter any document scores, and if I look at the indexes in Luke there is no change in the norms (compared to an un-boosted equiv

easier to control the scoring than say function queries which would be the query time substitute if the boost is a function of particular field values. ~ David Smiley Author: http://www.packtpub.com/solr-1-4-enterprise-search-server/ On Nov 18, 2009, at 6:40 AM, Ian Smith wrote: > I have

Solr Cell text extraction

2009-11-20 Thread Ian Smith
Hi Guys, I am trying to use Solr Cell to extract body content from documents, and also to pass along some literal field values. Trouble is, some of the literal fields contain spaces, colons etc. which cause a "bad request" exception in the server. However, if I URL encode these fields the encodi

Sorry guys, the bad request seemed to be caused elsewhere, no need to URL encode now. Ian. -Original Message- From: Ian Smith [mailto:ian.sm...@gossinteractive.com] Sent: 20 November 2009 15:26 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Solr Cell text extraction Hi Guys, I am trying to

Yeah, like I said, I was mistaken about setting field boost in schema.xml - doesn't mean it's a bad idea though. At any rate, from your penultimate sentence I reckon at least one of us is still confused about field boosting, feel free to reply if you think it's me ;) Ian. -Original Message--

Hi Chris, thanks for replying! OK, now I'm going to take the bait ;) I am talking about field boosting rather than document boosting, ie. I would like some fields (say eg. title) to be "louder" than others, across ALL documents. I believe you are at least partially talking about document boos

Aaaargh! OK, I would like a document with (eg.) a title containing a term to score higher than one on (eg.) a summary containing the same term, all other things being "equal". You seem to be arguing against field boosting in general, and I don't understand why! May as well let this drop sinc

Selection of returned fields - dynamic fields?

2009-12-09 Thread Ian Smith
Hi Guys, We need to eliminate one of our stored fields from the Solr response to reduce traffic as it is very bulky and not used externally. I have been experimenting both with "fl=FIELDNAME" and addField(FIELDNAME) from SolrJ and have found it is possible to achieve this effect for fixed fields

RE: Selection of returned fields - dynamic fields?

2009-12-10 Thread Ian Smith
OK thanks for the reply, fortunately we have now found an approach which avoids storing the field. It would be nice to be able to search for dynamic fields in a way which is consistent with their definition, although I suppose there probably isn't demand for this. Regards, Ian. -Original Me
