Hi, Try DisMax parser with tie parameter:
&q=solr&qf=name^10.03 description^10.02 location^10.01&tie=0.5&defType=dismax What will happen now is that the field which scores HIGHEST for the term will "win" the max score (10). If all things are equal, name will win above because it has slightly higher weight :) Because of the TIE parameter, other matching fields will score 0.5X -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com Solr Training - www.solrtraining.com On 19. jan. 2012, at 05:00, Jack Kanaska wrote: > Hi Tim, > > Unfortunately that's not what I am looking for.
