Hi all, I have the following problem. My lucene index contains documents with fields Text and CreatedDate. I'd like to have document search results sorted by relevance but also wants to show newest documents first within reasonable limits.
I can create sorting by relevance and then by date, but this approach provide too rough results, because even the oldest documents with higher rank will come first. I'd like to have more elegant solution. It seems that i should include document date to scoring formula to get more rank to the newer documents. Probably I can set document boost based on date, so newest documents will have bigger boost value. But i'm not sure is this variant correct. Maybe someone can suggest more correct approach? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Improving-relevance-by-document-date-tp27375856p27375856.html Sent from the Lucene - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
