I think this is a bad idea. The tf.idf algorithm will already put a higher weight on "hammers" than on "blue", because "hammers" will be more rare than "blue". Plus, you are making huge assumptions about the queries. In a search for "Canon camera", "Canon" is an adjective, but it is the important part of the query.
Have you looked at your query logs and which queries are successful and which are not? Don't make radical changes like this unless you can justify them from the logs. wunder On Oct 4, 2010, at 8:38 PM, Otis Gospodnetic wrote: > Hi, > > If you want "blue" to be used in search, then you should not treat it as a > stopword. > > Re payloads: http://search-lucene.com/?q=payload+score > and http://search-lucene.com/?q=payload+score&fc_type=wiki (even better, look > at > hit #1) > > Otis > ---- > Sematext :: http://sematext.com/ :: Solr - Lucene - Nutch > Lucene ecosystem search :: http://search-lucene.com/ > > > > ----- Original Message ---- >> From: Hasnain <hasn...@hotmail.com> >> To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org >> Sent: Mon, October 4, 2010 9:50:46 AM >> Subject: Re: Prioritizing advectives in solr search >> >> >> Hi Otis, >> >> Thank you for replying, unfortunately Im unable to fully grasp what >> you are trying to say, can you please elaborate what is payload with >> adjective terms? >> >> also Im using stopwords.txt to stop adjectives, adverbs and verbs, now when >> I search for "Blue hammers", solr searches for "blue hammers" and "hammers" >> but not "blue", but the problem here is user can also search for just >> "Blue", then it wont search for anything... >> >> any suggestions on this?? >> >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Prioritizing-adjectives-in-solr-search-tp1613029p1629725.html >> >> Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >>
