The term Nike in a product title should have a lot higher relevance, than the term Nike somewhere in a product review. I would like to keep indexing the reviews, but I need to specify the title at a much higher rate. Is that possible? I can split the values into their own fields if that helps.
That would absolutely help.... then you could use the lucene QueryParser syntax for boosting: A query like the following will count matches in the title roughly 10 times as important: title:Nike^10 review_body:Nike The dismax handler also has a way of dealing with this (see the Wiki), and that would be something to explore after you are comfortable with standard Lucene syntax. -Yonik
