Hi Eric Let me clarify:
1) The user gives a query, and also has an option to choose the "from" and "to" values for a specific field. (For Eg: Give me all documents that match the query Solr Users, but with those that were last updated between 10th and 20th of August ranked on top) -Over here, I am currently using a BoostQuery functionality, to do this. However, along with this, I want to provide an additional option of Sorting these "boosted" results based on that range chosen above. 2) I don't want to use an Fq option because, it will filter out the documents not within this range. I want the all the results relevant to the query, with an option to put a sorted list of documents, that satisfy the range requirements. I hope I made my query clearer now. S.
