With solr 1.3 I'm having a problem boosting new documents to the top. I used the recommended BoostFunction "recip(rord(created_at),1,1000,1000)" but older documents, sometimes 5 years old, make it to the top 3 documents. I've started using "ord(created_at)^0.0005" and get better results, but I don't think I should be... From what I understand rord is descending order and ord is ascending order, so why does this work? Does Solr 1.3 still have issues with date fields? Thanks, Jack
