http://10.0.11.54:8994/solr/select?q=(*:*)^0%20_val_:"strdist(\"phoenix\",city,edit)"&fl=score,*&sort=score%20desc however, sorting by the score in this query doesnt work (ie same problem as when sorting by strdist function - results dont change when I go from asc to desc or vice-versa). -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/can-t-use-strdist-as-functionquery-tp1023390p1057056.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
