Short summary: Is there any way I can specify that I want a lot of phrase slop for the "pf" parameter, but none at all for the "pf2" parameter?
I find the 'pf' parameter with a pretty large 'ps' to do a very nice job for providing a modest boost to many documents that are quite well related to many queries in my system. In contrast, I find the 'pf2' parameter with zero 'ps' does extremely well at providing a high boost to documents that are often exactly what someone's searching for. Is there any way I can get both effects? Edismax's pf2 parameter is really nice for boosting exact phrases in queries like 'black jacket red cap white shoes'. But as soon as even a little phrase slop (ps) is added, it seems like it starts boosting documents with red jackets and white caps just as much as those with black jackets and red caps. My gut feeling is that if I could have "pf" with a large phrase slop and the pf2 with zero phrase slop, it'd give me better overall results than any single phrase slop setting that gets applied to both. Is there any good way for me to test that? Thanks, Ron
