In Solr Relevancy FAQ if found a "solution" for boosting newer
document... However a newbie dumb ass like me can't get it to work.. :(
I want to query solr and have it show me results by date desc. (date is
a field)
I suppose I can use the explicit sort.. but FAQ talks about boosting and
I would like to try that too. I don't know what "qf", "mm" ect. I should
set.
This is what I tried, but didn't get "date desc" result. (I've tried
other values and leaving out attributes, but soo far.. no luck)
<requestHandler name="/test" class="solr.DisMaxRequestHandler" >
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
<str name="qf">body^1 headline^1</str>
<str name="bq">recip(rord(date),1,1000,1000)</str>
<str name="fl">id,headline,date,score</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
Hope someone has the time to help a newbie.. :|
