Boosting during Indexing or boosting during search ?
I have 4 fields:
{tags},{title},{summary},{contents}
Typically a phrase occurs too many times in contents as compared to the
other fields. If I get the score of contents field , I can pass it through
an adjuster function which will bring the score down. Something like:
public static double adjuster(double count){
double newCount;
newCount = 1/Math.exp(count);
System.out.println(newCount);
return newCount;
}
Do you mean I could boost the values of the other 3 fields ? Will that help
? Would there be a way to bring down the score of the contents field ?
thanks,
AZ
