Hi, In an application I'm working on, I have applied two types of search criteria to Solr. First one is a definitive search using filter query (fq) where by I know exactly the fields I'm searching for. Secondly I use eDisMax for full-text search, this would be applied when user enters keywords. The keyword field is combination of fields (using copyField).
Is there a difference in applying boosting to 'q' query and eDisMax query? If I apply boosting to q, the way I do it is select/?q=listing_type:bump^100 listing_type:featured^10 (*:*)^1&bq=recip(rord(creation_date),1,3,3)^1.5 If I'm using eDisMax what is the appropriate way of using boosting? I'm bit confused with using params when we apply eDisMax http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtendedDisMax Can I apply boosting query to *q.alt* Ex: select/?defType=edisMax&q=*:*&q.alt=listing_type:bump^100 listing_type:featured^10 (*:*)^1&bq=recip(rord(creation_date),1,3,3)^1.5 what is the significance of qf,pf,pf2, bq, bf and boost in eDisMax for boosting documents? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Difference-in-boosting-with-q-and-eDisMax-Are-they-same-or-different-tp4116418.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
