: Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but it there a way to get values from : the user's request as arguments to boost functions in dismax? : : I'm thinking about distance based weighting for search results, which : requires the user's x,y.
well, the boost function itself can be provided as input, so the client can send the function with teh iput already filled in ... but i'm guessing you're asking if there is some way you can configure a "default" function in the solrconfig.xml and have it use variables to refer to other request params ... ther'es nothing like that right now, but there is a patch that makes progress towards something similar... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-109 -Hoss
