OK, In order to do boosting, we often will create a dynamic field in SOLR. For example:
A Professional hire out for work, I want to boost those who do "woodworking". George Smith - builds chairs, and builds desks. He builds the most desks in the country (350 a year). And his closest competitor does 200 a year. id (integer) = 1 name (string) =George Smith work multiValued field = chairs, desks num_desk (dynamic field num*) = 500 Then I would do something like: q=num_desk^5.0 Is there a way to do this without a dynamic field? I thought about a field: desk|500 (use bar delimiter). But couldn't see how to have the value indexed to easily to a boost for those who do the most. If you think of all the type of work, this could be 50,000 dynamic fields. Probably a performance hog.
