Sorting all paid above all unpaid will give bad results when there are many matches. It will show 1000 paid items, include all the barely relevant ones, before it shows the first highly relevant unpaid recipe. What if that was the only correct result?
Two approaches that work: 1. Boost paid items using the “boost” parameter in edismax. Adjust it to be a tiebreaker between documents with similar score. 2. Show two lists, one with the five most relevant paid, the next with the five most relevant unpaid. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Oct 8, 2015, at 7:39 AM, Alessandro Benedetti <benedetti.ale...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Is it possible to understand better this : "as it doesn't > allow any meaningful customization " ? > > Cheers > > On 8 October 2015 at 15:27, Andrea Roggerone <andrearoggerone.o...@gmail.com >> wrote: > >> Hi guys, >> I don't think that sorting is a good solution in this case as it doesn't >> allow any meaningful customization.I believe that the advised >> QueryElevationComponent is one of the viable alternative.
