Took the words right out my mouth! That second method would be particularly effective but will only work if you can identify these docs at index time.

For relevancy sorting ?q=foo OR (foo AND id:bar) For nonrelevancy sorting, all you need is a multilevel sort. Just add a bogus field that only the important document contains. Then sort by bogus field in descending order before any other sorting criteria are applied. Either way, the document only appears when it matches the search criteria, and it will always be on top. kyle On 10/24/07, Charlie Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, this will only work if the results are sorted by score (the > default). > > One thing I thought of after I sent this out was that this will include > the specified document even if it doesn't match your search criteria, > which may not be what you want. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: mark angelillo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 12:44 PM > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: Forced Top Document > > Charlie, > > That's interesting.
