Hi Ravi, Regarding recency please see : http://www.slideshare.net/lucenerevolution/potter-timothy-boosting-documents-in-solr
Regarding "docs containing all words" there is function query that elevates those docs to top. Search existing mailing list past posts.

We search news content hence chronology is very important and also relevancy, although both are mutually exclusive. For example, if the search terms are - malaysia airline crash blackbox - my requirements are as follows docs containing all words should be on top, but the editorial also wants them sorted reverse by chronological order without loosing relevancy. Why ?? If on day 1 there is an article about search for blackbox but on day 2 the blackbox is found and day 3 there is an article about blackbox being unusable...from the user's standpoint it makes sense that we show most recent content on top. I already boost recency of docs with boost=recip(ms(NOW/HOUR,displaydatetime),7.889e-10,1,1) i.e. increments of 3 months However when I do the boost the chronology is messed up. I know relevancy and sorting are mutually exclusive concepts. Is there any magic that we can do in SOLR which can achieve both ??? Thanks, Ravi Kiran bhaskar
