Victoria, Either use FunctionQuery's or hack around HitCollector.collect(int, float) in SolrIndexSearcher...and adjust the score using the additional values you mentioned.

My system uses solr to build a searchable archive of documents. I need to override the default scoring/similarity function because the additional to the query relevancy factors have to be considered. For example, each document has "updated on" and "source" fields, which should influence the score too. I want the score/similarity function be a sum of weighted (according to configuration) query relevancy, update level and source rank (calculated at search time). Which is the best way to achieve required functionality? Should I inherit and override existing code or should I build some independent module (something like requestHandler) and to configure Solr to use it? If I have to override the defaults, which class should it be? In general, what am I actually trying to customize: scoring or similarity? Thank you very much. Victoria
