Hi, I use *dismax* and have specified my fields to be boosted in the qf parameter in solrconfig.xml. What I understand is that in the search URL also I can specify these qf value by doing the addition &qf=field1^100 field2^200 which can override the boost specified to each field in solrconfig.xml. But when I change the boosts like this in my URL for the various fields, I still don't find any difference at all in the order in which the results are coming. I have many fields specified in qf. I changed their boost by changing say * field1^2.0* to *field1^1000 *in the query URL but I find no change in the order in which the results still come.
Is there any problem in using the qf parameter like this as part of the query URL and varying the boosts (relevancy) to check how the order of results vary. My aim is to see how the results would change if I boosted some fields more from others or the viceversa of decreased boost of some fields compared to others. Could some one pls help! Thanks. Mark.
