External file field would work, but requires a full import of the
external file field every time you change a single entry, which is
pretty extreme.
I've tested out "score joins" which seemed to perform very well and
achieved the same effect, but using another core, rather than an
external file.
Thus:
{!join score=max fromIndex=prices from=id to=id}{!boost b=price}*:*
seemed to do the job of using the price as a boost. Of course you could
extend this like so:
q={!join score=max fromIndex=prices from=id to=id}{!boost b=$b}*:*
b=sqrt(price)
or such things to make the price a more reasonable value.
