Otis Gospodnetic commented on SOLR-418:
---------------------------------------

It seems like even this last bit would be great to make configurable:

"If the query specifies a sort, it will be respected. Only SCORE sorts are 
modified to boost the configured documents."

In other words, make it possible to force docs in boost.xml to show up in 
appropriate positions regardless of the sort type.

Also, perhaps references to 'boost(s)' should now be renamed, so there is no 
confusion?  Isn't the "industry standard" for this type of stuff  "one box"?

> For a given query string, a human editor can say what documents should be 
> important.  This is related to a lucene discussion:
> http://www.nabble.com/Forced-Top-Document-tf4682070.html#a13408965
> Ideally, the position could be determined explicitly by the editor - 
> otherwise increasing the boost is probably sufficient.
> This patch uses the Search Component framework to inject custom document 
> boosting into the standard SearchHandler.
