Here is the problem I am trying to solve. I have to use the Standard Request Handler.
Query (can be quite complex, as it gets built from an advanced search form): term1^2.0 OR term2 OR "term3 term4" I have 3 fields - content (the default search field), title and url. Any matches in the title or url fields should be weighed more. I can specify index time boosting for these two fields, but I would rather not, as it is a heavy handed solution. I need to make it user configurable for advanced search. What should my query to SOLR be? Something like this? content:term1^2.0 OR content:term2 OR content:"term3 term4" OR title:term1^2.0 OR title:term2 OR title:"term3 term4" OR url:term1^2.0 OR url:term2 OR url:"term3 term4" Looks like it can get pretty long and error prone. With the 'dismax' handler I can simply specify qf=content title^2 url^2 no matter how complex the 'q' parameter is. Is there a similar easier way I can do query time boosting with Standard Request Handler, that I am missing?
