Hi all,When creating a combo field for searching, is there any straight-forward way to boost the contribution of one of the fields being used to create the combined field? I'd read the past threads about this, and there didn't seem to be anything built in to Solr. A simple hack I did was to copy the field multiple times - e.g. have: <copyField source="field-to-boost" dest="combo-field"/> <copyField source="field-to-boost" dest="combo-field"/> <copyField source="field-to-boost" dest="combo-field"/> in the schema, so that "field-to-boost" has an effective boost of 3x.
That's really the only way to do it. Lucene boosts are per-field (not per-field-value) for a particular document, so you can't have a multi-valued field with some values boosted higher than others. -Yonik
