Add &debugQuery=true to your URL, look at the parsed query in the
debug output to see if things changed there between the two qf values,
and then take a look at the score explanations in the debug output.

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.
