Hello,
I am developing a new feature in my product where an administrator can select a
list of documents for different sections of the application. You can think of
this feature as the classic categorization in an e-commerce site (e.g.: Boots,
Headgear, etc). Since this categorization is different depending on the
section/category I cannot easily store which documents are promoted in Solr
itself. I know ahead of time which documents should be promoted for which
section so I would like to know if there is a way to "pass" these documents to
Solr and have them at the top of the list if they are found in the search
results.
For example let's say that I have the following documents:
- Doc1 (name: A, Age: 12)
- Doc2 (name: B, Age: 24)
- Doc3 (name: C, Age: 36)
I would like to promote Doc3 at the top of the list and if someone search for
"name:B" or "Age:12" the results should not include Doc3 because it did not
match the query.
I looked at QueryElevationComponent and it doesn't do exactly what I want: the
component is based on a "query" and this query can be different in my use case.
I know I can use the "elevatedIds" parameter to elevate documents however they
are always elevated even if they are not present in the search results.
Is it possible to achieve what I need with Solr? I am using Solr 4.10.2
Thanks!
