i wasn't suggesting you have Solr sort by date, i was suggesting you do exactly what you asked about: have solr sort by score, then take the top N docs and resort them by date -- my point was that he second step resorting N by date) can easily be done on the client side since you're going to be fetching down N results anyway. : relevancy) so I guess I'm looking more for of a threashold to retrieve : results only from a certain score and I need this threshold to be : adaptive. I.e it's not about the number of results to retrieve since I unfortunately this isn't pragmatic with Lucene scores, you can't have a fixed "threshold" because scores from differnet searches arent' comparable... http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/LuceneFAQ#head-912c1f237bb00259185353182948e5935f0c2f03 -Hoss
