I just want to confirm, (as I'm not quiet familiar with the function query
syntax) will the following query be alright to search "car power adaptor", so
that the entry with highest idRank be displayed first?
http://localhost:8983/solr/select?indent=on&q=car%20power%20adaptor&fl=id,score,name&_val_:idRank
Also, will I need to set the value of idRank for ALL items? Right now I have
only set it for those items which are being returned by this query.
