: It appears that adding sort functions would be done in Lucene, and not : in solr. I'm not sure I want to go down that path, so I'm wondering : if there's a way to accomplish this with solr. From recent : discussions, it sounds like I might be able to do this with some boost : magic. Unfortunately, I haven't found any examples of boosting that : seem close to what I want to do.
I can't think of anyway to accomplish anything like this without writing some custom Java code in Solr ... either some custom ValueSources to use in FunctionQuery, or a custom Sort object. -Hoss
