Yes, more or less, most of my tries have not been function query based just basic dismax handler stuff. I have a bit of a unique case where Im dealing w/ last names + multiple players (think Staal ;-) and non tagged content (feeds) so it's a bit tricky than just news articles and some tend to overload stories w/ just names which don't pertain to the story context.

I have been trying on the side to do a "3-pass" phase where it's a normal index, then doc boost on date (ie yesterday's games) and then taking analytic reports and applying another boost. I may end up w/ another factor where if a user is signed in, the favorite team is also pushed as a document boost as well. This all happens offline though + really wonder if this type of operation can / will ever reach realtime to some degree. Id really like to find some time to develop the whole thing as more of a DIH plugin (post op).

Any other cool tips to try? :-)

Hey Jon,

If I understand right, you want news about a particular player, right? And you need it to be fresh.

Can you share more about what you've done so far? It sounds like you have tried out some function query stuff, but can you share what you did there?

Ive spent a few months trying different techniques w/ regards to searching just news articles w/ players and can't seem to find the perfect setup.

Normally I take into consideration date (frequency + recently published), title (which boosts on relevancy) and general mm in body text (and score)

Sometimes its more of a preference on how to drill into news (own being most recently published) vs. historical where it can be more context based ...

Is anyone else toying w/ different setups for searching news in general?
