Hello all, Recently i've been trying to tweak some aspects of relevancy in one listing project. I need to give a higher score to newer documents and also boost the document based on a boolean field that indicates the listing has pictures. On top of that, in some situations we need a random sorting for the records but also preserving the ranking.
I tried to combine some techniques described in the Solr Relevancy FAQ wiki, but when I add the random sorting, the ranking gets messy (as expected). This works well: http://localhost:18979/solr/select/?start=0&rows=15&q={!boost%20b=recip(ms(NOW/HOUR,date_updated),3.16e-11,1,1)}active%3a%22true%22+AND+featured%3a%22false%22+_val_:%haspicture%22&fl=*,score This does not work, gives a random order on what is already ranked http://localhost:18979/solr/select/?start=0&rows=15&q={!boost%20b=recip(ms(NOW/HOUR,date_updated),3.16e-11,1,1)}active%3a%22true%22+AND+featured%3a%22false%22+_val_:%haspicture%22&fl=*,score&sort=random_1+desc The only way I see is to create another field on the schema containing a random value and use it to boost the document the same way that was tone on the boolean field. Anyone tried something like this before and knows some way to get it working? Thanks, Alexandre
