Hi - you do understand may case - we tried what you suggested but as the relevancy is very precise we couldn't get it it to do a dual-sort.

Thanks for all replies, most useful. -----Original Message----- From: Savvas-Andreas Moysidis [mailto:savvas.andreas.moysi...@googlemail.com] Sent: Tue 30/11/2010 09:26 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Boost on newer documents hi, I might not understand your case right but can you not add an extra publishedDate field and then specify a secondary (after relevance) sort by that?
