I am in need of some help with the following problem. I have a single index that I am currently searching against, but it has the property that a small set of the documents get updated frequently while a large majority of them are very static and are rarely updated. Documents can move from be

I recently posted a similar question to this list. Currently I am just adding the boosted field to the default search field multiple times Look for a thread on this list with a subject of "Document Boost." There were a few interesting ideas posted about how to go about this. Les Ken Krugle

Would a good solution be to insert a secret string into blank fields that represents blank. That way you could search for: firstname:(-Xd8fgrSjg) lastname:(-Xd8fgrSjg) some query string Les Les Fletcher wrote: I like the idea of the filter since I am making heavy use of filters for this

Re: filter caching

If the Chained filter works off of the cached QueryFilters, then that is great and I don't mind not caching the ChainedFilter and doing the work to combine those bit vectors (assuming that is what it is doing). I want to build up a set of small QueryFilters and that can be cached and be combin

I have a question about filter caching. I have a lot of QueryFilters that I use when searching that filter on a single field. Sometimes alone I use them by themselves, but mostly I use them in some combination using ChainedFilter. Does the caching take advantage of only the final filter that

Re: Document Boost

Oo I like the BAR_significant field idea. It seems that you'd have to have one of those for every different level of boosting in your document. But that is significantly easier than reforming a query for 30-odd fields. The next quersion would be should you omit the boosted field word

Re: Document Boost

I am also releatively new to lucene and was wondering about this. The way it seems to work, is that if you boost a field then you have to actually specify that field in your query to benefit from that field boost. Otherwise you'll search the default field and the boost will be ignored. I hac
