Hi Bob, I tried using a product type attribute which separates the products/parts and boost the product in TOP with OR condition for productype as parts. This way you get all the products /parts related to your search and always keeping the Products in the Top and Parts next to Products. This is a kind of playing with the query so your relevance won't break.

The struggle I am having is that our catalog stores products and parts in the same taxonomy. Since parts are ordered more frequently when you search for something like TV you see cables and antennas first. My theory is that someone needs to tag products as Top Selling as a facet then use faceted search to avoid an artificial boost which screws up document relevance. Anyone fight with anything similar? Interested in discussing with other eCommerce search developers. Regards, Bob
