: I have a use case where I would like to search across two fields but I do not : want to weight a document that has a match in both fields higher than a : document that has a match in only 1 field.
use dismax, set the "tie" param to "0.0" (so it's a true "max" with no score boost for matching in multiple fields) https://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMax http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2010/05/23/whats-a-dismax/ -Hoss
