Is it possible to boost the query that MoreLikeThis returns before
sending it to Solr? I mean, technically is possible, because you
can add a factor to the whole query but...does it make sense?
(Remember that MoreLikeThis can already boosts each term inside the
query).
For example, this could be a result of MoreLikeThis (with native
boosting enabled)
queryResultMLT = (this^0.4 is^0.5 a^0.6 query^0.33 of^0.29
morelikethis^0.67)
what I want to do is
queryResulltMLT = (this^0.4 is^0.5 a^0.6 query^0.33 of^0.29
morelikethis^0.67)^0.60 <---(notice the boost of 0.60 for the
whole query)
That last boost wouldn't change the doc ordering at all, so it'd be
kinda useless.
What are you trying to accomplish?
