The elevation component will be a ton of manual work. Instead, use edismax and
the boost parameter.
Add a field that is true for paid documents, then boost for paid:true. It might
be easier to use a boost query (bq) to do this. The extra boost will be a
tiebreaker for documents that would have the same score.
Use this in your solrconfig.xml:
<str name=“bq”>paid:true</str>
You can add weight to that if it isn’t boosting the paid content enough. Like
this:
<str name=“bq”>paid:true^8</str>
It is slightly better to do this with the boost parameter and a function query,
because that bypasses idf, but I think this approach is nice and clear.
