Dear all, I am using SolrJ to implement a system that needs to provide users with searching services. I have some questions about Solr searching as follows.
As I know, Lucene retrieves data according to the degree of keyword matching on text field (partial matching). But, if I search data by string field (complete matching), how does Lucene sort the retrieved data? If I want to add new sorting ways, Solr's function query seems to support this feature. However, for a complicated ranking strategy, such PageRank, can Solr provide an interface for me to do that? My ranking ways are more complicated than PageRank. Now I have to load all of matched data from Solr first by keyword and rank them again in my ways before showing to users. It is correct? Thanks so much! Bing
