: 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.
try qf=field1^10000+field2^100+field3^1&tie=0 : Does this make sense? it does, but it kind of defeats the point of dismax. what i cited should help -- the key is to make the boosts vastly differnet scales, and eliminate the tiebreaker value. -Hoss
