> Solr Boost returns unexpected results
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-2131
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2131
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Jayant Patil
>
> Hi,
> We are using Solr for our searches. We are facing issues while applying boost
> on particular fields.
> E.g.
> We have a field Category, which contains values like Electronics, Computers,
> Home Appliances, Mobile Phones etc.
> We want to boost the category Electronics and Mobile Phones, we are using the
> following query
> (category:Electronics^2 OR category:Mobile Phones^1 OR category:[* TO *]^0)
> The results are unexpected as Category Mobile Phones gets more boost than
> Electronics even if we are specifying the boost factor 2 for electronics and
> 1 for mobile phones respectively.
> On debugging we found that DocFreq is manipulating the scores and hence
> affecting the overall boost. The no. of docs for mobile phones is much lower
> than that for electronics and solr is giving higher score to mobile phones
> for this reason.
> Please suggest a solution.
