Hi, I'm currently new at Lucene and Solr, but I've managed to get some results so far, and like the project very much. For my current project, I need to randomize the search results, but still keep the sorting by relevance. For example, If 3 results have the same score, they can be ordered 1-2-3, 2-1-3-, 3-2-1, 2-3-1, etc with every new search.
And...another thing I'm interested in is how to make sure the different results have equal display times if the scoring is the same. If for example 20 results have the same score, and I only show 5 in my app, I still want result nr 19 to be shown as many times as result 1, because the score is the same. I know a search engine is meant to rank result by score, but I want every result (with the same score) to have the same "face time" by randomizing the order. Can anyone tell me if these things would be possible, and/or where to start looking? Thanks in advance
