Hi, If you are looking for query time boosting on title field you can do the following: /select?q=title:android^10
Also unless you have a very good reason to use string for date data (in your case pubdate and reldate), you should be using solr.DateField. regards, Ram On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 3:41 AM, Ahmet Arslan <iori...@yahoo.com> wrote: > There are several mistakes in your approach: > > copyField just copies data.
