Hello, I have a set of documents in which I have different classes of fields that I would like to search separately. For example, I would like to search the HTML body and title of a webpage using one set of keywords, and the page author using another set. I cannot use the dismax parser for this problem because all keywords will search across all the query fields. However, I like the dismax query parser because it handles matching and scoring very nicely.
I read one suggestion on this group which was to make one of the queries a query filter. So for example, I may use the dismax query parser to search the body and title of a webpage, then use a filter query for the author. There are two problems with this approach in regards to what I need: 1. The filter query does not affect scoring, but I need the scoring to be influenced by the results of all fields being searched. 2. A filter query will do a simple AND or OR filter, while I would need the search to be an OR search with higher scoring for multiple matches (related to the first problem). I think what I need is a dismax parser into which the parsed query will not just contain all keywords for all fields, but into which you can specify which fields correspond to which sets of keywords. Has anything like this been tackled before? If not, can someone help point me in the right direction for how I would build this myself? Thanks very much for your time. Regards, Mark Ferguson
