My gut tells me that multiplying a function of the date field with the full-text relevancy score will work better than adding a function of the date field. BoostedQuery can do this via BoostQParserPlugin http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/search/BoostQParserPlugin.html
And for the function, you could make it flatter or steeper depending on how much you wanted date to influence the score. Might try a recip function or a linear function on the ord of the date field. We don't yet have any functions that work on the actual date values. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery -Yonik On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 3:25 PM, Erik Holstad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > When doing a search we want to have a have parameters that we set of how to > boost different > scores. for example we want to have the ability to boost newer items in some > case and in some not, > like a sliding scale from only time to only relevancy. > > What is the best way of doing this, using Solrj? > > Regards Erik >
