Hi,
What if we write all paid results in a new, dedicated, core... let's call it:
"PaidResultsCore" and lets call the non-paid results core: "NonPaidResultsCore"
When a user asks for "red pepper" we first perform the query upon
"PaidResultsCore" and get the first ranking 3 results and then we perform the
query upon "NonPaidResultsCore" and get the first ranking 9 results. Then we
mix them all together and deliver a 12 results page to the user.
Could that be achieved and how???
Thank you,Christian

Subject: Re: How to show some documents ahead of others - requirements
I've seen a similar requirement to this recently.
Basically, a sorting requirement that is close to impossible to
implement as a scoring/boosting formula, because the *position* of the
result features in the score, and that's not something I believe can be
done right now.
The way we solved the issue in the similar case I referred to above was
by using a RerankQuery. That query class has a getTopDocsCollector()
function, which you can override, providing your own Collector.
If you then refer to your query(actually your query parser) with the
rerank query param in Solr: rq={!myRerankQuery} then it will trigger
your new collector, which will be given its topDocs() method is called,
will call topDocs on its parent query, get a list of documents, then
order them in some way such as you require, and return them in a
non-score order.
Not sure I've made that very clear, but hope it helps a little.
