When I make a search at Solr 4.2.1 that runs as SolrCloud I get: <result name="response" numFound="18720" start="0" maxScore="1.2672108">
First one has that boost: <float name="boost"> 1.3693064 </float> Second one has that: <float name="boost"> 1.7501166 </float> and third one: <float name="boost"> 1.0387472 </float> Here is default schema for Nutch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/nutch/tags/release-2.1/conf/schema-solr4.xml?revision=1388536&view=markup Do I miss something or result are already sorted by relevance by Solr?
