(I am using solr 3.4 and edismax.) In my index, I have a multivalued field named "genre". One of the values this field can have is "Citation". I would like documents that have a genre field of Citation to always be at the bottom of the search results.
I've been experimenting, but I can't seem to figure out the syntax of the search I need. Here is the search that seems most logical to me (newlines added here for readability): q=%2bcontent%3Anotes+genre%3ACitation^0.01 &start=0 &rows=3 &fl=genre+title &version=2.2 &defType=edismax I get the same results whether I include "genre%3ACitation^0.01" or not. Just to see if my names were correct, I put a minus sign before "genre" and it did, in fact, stop returning all the documents containing Citation. What am I doing wrong? Here are the results from the above query: <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">1</int> <lst name="params"> <str name="fl">genre title </str> <str name="start">0</str> <str name="q">+content:notes genre:Citation^0.01</str> <str name="rows">3</str> <str name="version">2.2</str> <str name="defType">edismax</str> </lst> </lst> <result name="response" numFound="1276" start="0"> <doc> <arr name="genre"><str>Citation</str><str>Fiction</str></arr> <str name="title">Notes on novelists With some other notes</str> </doc> <doc> <arr name="genre"><str>Citation</str></arr> <str name="title">Novel notes</str> </doc> <doc> <arr name="genre"><str>Citation</str></arr> <str name="title">Knock about notes</str> </doc> </result> </response>
