In my case when we search for lets say cameras , my top x results are
all sorts of cameras and then i get documents that match camera casings etc.
As a company we want to show as many cameras as possible and not other
camera
related products for this one web view on a specific page we have. On
this same page
we also want to provide a way that the user can select "price high to
low" or price low to high" and sort these top x results. Essentially the
hard part is to come up with the X so that you ideally dont prune any
cameras.
As a business we want to strive to get as many cameras in the search
results, but at the same time we dont mind if a few cameras do not
appear in those results if we can really fine tune our search results to
only show cameras and not camera casings and camera batteries etc.
I have been looking at QueryFilter and the Sort API, but havent yet
figured out a way to do what I am trying to do .. any pointers are
greatly appreciated.
-Thanks,

I'm sure you've taken care of this, but I am curious myself:
If the 301 document only has a single term "batteries" (and thus is so
far low on the Hits), but has a price of seven cents, then the sort of
all the documents with "batteries" would put this near the top, but by
eliminating all documents above 300, this one doesn't appear in the
solution you are working for, correct? Why is that a good thing?
It seems you would want to sort on the full document list, and then
return on the 300 top that you want the user to see.
I think I'm just curious why getting rid of some that could (in a new
sort) be of higher relevance is a good thing.

Subject: get results by relevance, limiting results and then sort the
results by some criterion
When I do a search for example on "batteries" i get 1200+ results. I
would like to show the user lets say 300. I can do that by only
extracting the first 300 hits (sorted by decreasing relevance by
default) and displaying those to the user.
Now on the search results page, I have a drop down box that lets the
user sort the results by price. When the user selects the "Sort by price
low to high", i would like to be able to sort the same 300 hits I got
above (sorted by decreasing relevance by default) by price.
Essentially I want to be able to sort the first 300 relevant search
results by price. (in other words I would like to be able to get search
results by relevance, limit the results and sort the results by some
criterion).
What would be a good way to do this in lucene?
-Thanks.
