Hi,

I can sort the search results by distance now. But,
the relevance is lost.

I like to have the results sorted by relevance +
distance, i.e., relevance first; for results of
similar relevance, order by distance. How to do that?

How are you currently sorting? You can use multiple sort fields within a Sort.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Otis,

Thanks for your answer. I do have LIA (but not with
me
now physically), and have the impression that the
search ordering is predetermined (at index time);
what
I want is search-time ordering, e.g.,

"I'm at (x,y) now and low on gas; find me the
closest
airports that can land 747, the closest first,
please".

I'll re-read the book/chapter tonight, but look
forward to any expert advises.

Thanks,
-James

Hi James,

Check out the org.apache.lucene.search.package,
there are several sort
classes that will let you write  a custom sorter.
If you have a copy
of LIA, look at chapter 6 for an example (

)

Suppose I have a book index with

field="publisher", field="title",

etc.
If a user has bought Manning books, then I like

to

sort the result

with Manning books listed first.

In essence, I'm asking for a parameterized

custom

sorting. Is there a

way to do this?

Thanks,
-James
