To use per-field similarity you have to add <similarity class="solr.SchemaSimilarityFactory"/> to your schema.xml file: And then in individual fields you can use the BM25 with different k1 and b.

I understand BM25 similarity is now supported in Solr but I was hoping to be able to configure k1 and b for different fields such as title, description, anchor etc, as they are structured documents. I am fairly new to Solr so any help would be appreciated. If this is possible or any steps as to how I can go about implementing this it would be greatly appreciated.
