Unfortunately, my results aren't quite what I want unless I use 0 on the second field. Instead, if something matches in all the fields it is elevated to the top. I only want the first field match elevated to the top and I want all first field matches to have the same weight. Next, I want all field2 matches to have the same weight, and finally, I want all field3 matches to have the same weight. But I want field1 matches to be at the top, then field 2, and finally field3. I don't care if the term is all three fields or not.
Does this make sense? -----Original Message----- From: Paul Libbrecht [mailto:p...@activemath.org] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 1:10 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: negative boost Jason, don't you want field1^3 * field2^1 * field3^0.9 ? As written in Lucene in action, it's all multiplied. So "negative boost" means "boost under 1" (and probably elsewhere) paul PS: take the log and you get this negative.
