We have a query to return products related to a given product. To give some variety to the results, we group by vendor: group=true&group.main=true&group.field=merchantId
We need at least four results to display. Unfortunately, some categories don't have a lot of products, and grouping takes us (say) from five results to three. Can I "soften" the grouping, so other products by the same vendor will appear in the results, but with much lower score? Similarly, we have a filter query that only returns products over $150: fq=price:[150+TO+*] Can this be changed to a q or qf parameter where products less than $150 have score less than any product priced $150 or more? (A price higher than $150 should not increase the score.)
