Hi Doug,
Thank you for your response. I tried the above boost syntax but I get the
following error of going into an infinite loop. In the wiki page I couldnt
figure out what the 'v' parameter is. (
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_0/the-extended-dismax-query-parser.html).
I will try the analysis tool as well.
"bq":"{!edismax mm=80% qf=ContactEmail^100 v=$q}"}},
"error":{ "metadata":[ "error-class","org.apache.solr.common.SolrException",
"root-error-class","org.apache.solr.search.SyntaxError"],
"msg":"org.apache.solr.search.SyntaxError:
Infinite Recursion detected parsing query
Thank you,
Tanya
