Thank you for the advice. I looked at the page you recommended and came up with:
http://localhost:8983/solr/search/?q=dog&fl=boost_score,genus,species,score&rows=15&bf=%22ord%28sum%28boost_score,1%29%29 ^10%22 But appeared to have no effect. The results were in the same order as they were when I left off the bf parameter. So what am I doing incorrectly?
