I have some sort of blind spot that's preventing me from seeing this in
the online documentation, but how do I know if I'm using the standard or
dismax request handlers, and how do I change between them?
Also, is there something about boosting fields at index time that messes
with the relevance of phrase searching? Let me explain: I have one
index of ~280k bibliographic records, with no field boosting. If I
search for HABITAT LOSS, the top hits all have the two-word phrase
"habitat loss". I have another index of about ~840k bibliographic
records, with titles and abstracts boosted slightly upwards; when I
search HABITAT LOSS my top hits all have "habitat" or of "loss" by
themselves in the abstract (there are hits on the phrase "habitat loss"
in the abstract and I can find them with a quoted search string).
All in Solr 1.2 with no substantial differences between their schema.xml
files.
