This issue adds the SpanFirstQuery to edismax. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3925
It unfortuntately cannot produce progressively higher boosts if the term is closer to the beginning. -----Original message----- > From:Jack Krupansky <j...@basetechnology.com> > Sent: Fri 30-Nov-2012 18:54 > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: Best way to increase boost to results that 'starts with' search > keyword > > Two choices: > > 1.
