Hi All, I have a situation where I need to boost the score of a query if a field (imageURL) in the given document is non empty , I am using edismax so I know that using bq parameter would solve the problem. However the field imageURL that I am trying to boost on is not indexed , meaning (stored = true and indexed = false), can I use the bq parameter for a non indexed field ? or should I be looking at re-indexing after changing the schema to make this an indexed field ?
Also , my use case is such that I want the documents that have an imageURL to be boosted so that they appear before those documents that do not have the imageURL when sorted by score in a descending order, and this field in question i.e. imageURL is sometimes present and sometimes not, that is why I am looking at boosting the score of those documents that have the imageURL present. Thanks and any help and suggestionis much appreciated!
