I'm getting different results running these queries: http://localhost:8080/solr/select?&q=*:*&fq=source:wiki&fq=tag:car&sort=score+desc,dateSubmitted+asc&fl=title,score,dateSubmitted&rows=100
http://localhost:8080/solr/select?fq=source:wiki&q=tag:car&sort=score+desc,dateSubmitted+desc&fl=title,score,dateSubmitted&rows=100 They return the same amount of results (and I'm assuming the same ones) -- but the first one (with q=*:*) has a score of 1 for all results, making it only sort by dateSubmitted. The second one has scores, and it properly sorts them. I was thinking that the two would be equivalent and give the same results in the same order, but I'm guessing that there is something happening behind the scenes in Solr (Lucene?) that makes the *:* give me a score of 1.0 for everything. I tried to find some documentation to figure out if this is the case, but I'm not having much luck for that. I have a JSP file that will take in parameters, do some work on them to make them appropriate for Solr, then pass the query it builds to Solr. Should I just put more brains in that to avoid using a *:* (we're trying to verify results and we ran into this oddity). This is for Solr 3.4, running Tomcat 5.5.25 on Java 1.5. Thanks! Let me know if Ineed to clarify anything... -- Chris
