You could use a boost function to gently boost up items which were
marked as more popular.
You would send the function query in the "bf" parameter with your
query, and you can find out more about syntax here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery

Currently I'm using SOLR 1.2 to index a few million documents. It's
been requested that a way for users to rate the documents be done so
that something rated higher would show up higher in search results and
vice verse.
I've been thinking about it, but can't come up with a good way to do
this and still have the "best match" ranking of the results according
to search terms entered by the users.
I was hoping someone had done something similar or would have some
insight on it.
Thanks in advance!
