: > function that will give me a bigger boost for field values closer to : > zero? : : The syntax could possibly change in the future, but look at the syntax in : the javadoc for parseFunction in : http://incubator.apache.org/solr/docs/api/org/apache/solr/search/QueryParsing.html : : Then when using the query parser syntax, use _val_ to activate it. : So you get things like _val_:linear(myfield,1,2)
two things to note: 1) if you are using dismax, the "bf" param parses functions directly, so you don't need the _val_ hack. 2) the "rord" function lets you access the "reverse ordinal" value of a field, so the higher the value, the lower the number returned by hte function. if you have a garunteed sequential ordering for your field, then you'll get an even distribution out of rord(fieldName) -Hoss
