True, but let me ask the question in a different way. The problem is that when I run the query and order by date then the most recent results are not relevant enough (in general I find I need to do work on top of what solr provides in order to get good relevancy) so I guess I'm looking more for of a threashold to retrieve results only from a certain score and I need this threshold to be adaptive. I.e it's not about the number of results to retrieve since I want as many as possible so I have better chance to get the most recent one, but more about getting all the results that are relevant enough. When I display results sorted by score this is not a problem because all these results hide in page number X (X is big).
I can think of several hacks (e.g calculating the distribution of results myself) to do this but was wondering if there is a proper solution. Thx On 3/23/07, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
