Hi all,

 

We are currently working on a proof-of-concept for a client using Solr
and have been able to configure all the features they want except the
scoring.

 

Problem is that they want scores that make results fall in buckets:

*       Bucket 1: exact match on category (score = 4)
*       Bucket 2: exact match on name (score = 3)
*       Bucket 3: partial match on category (score = 2)
*       Bucket 4: partial match on name (score = 1)

 

First thing we did was develop a custom similarity class that would
return the correct score depending on the field and an exact or partial
match.

 

The only problem now is that when a document matches on both the
category and name the scores are added together.

Example: searching for "restaurant" returns documents in the category
restaurant that also have the word restaurant in their name and thus get
a score of 5 (4+1) but they should only get 4.

 

I assume for this to work we would need to develop a custom Scorer class
but we have no clue on how to incorporate this in Solr.

Maybe there is even a simpler solution that we don't know about.

 

All suggestions welcome!

 

Thanks,

Tom
