Hi, when I attached a boost value even the following query is not working:-
select?qt=dismaxboost&q=horticulture&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on&bf=recip(rord(approval_dt),1,1000,1000)^110.0&fl=approval_dt,projname When I hadnt provided the boost value for the approval_dt the above was giving me proper sorted results. Could anyone suggest whether I am doing something wrong. thanks and rgds, Anil. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Anil Cherian <cherian.anil2...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 12:25 PM Subject: index-time boost ... query To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Hi, I am working on index-time boosting. I have a field named approval_dt. I have created that <field> in my SOLR xml to be uploaded, by sorting my query in ascending order of approval_dt and then increasing the boost for this field by 0.1 as i encounter new records from database. In my schema.xml that field has omitNorms=false (<field name="approval_dt" type="date" indexed="true" stored="true" omitNorms="false"/>) Suppose I am searching for a keyword say *India*. I want my results to come in such a way that the ones with latest/ recent approval_dt should come first. I achieved this using query-time boosting bf parameter. I am not trying it using the index-time approach. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Anil
