Hi, I would simply split the query into two individual ones. One for the ordinary products, where you request 8 rows, and one for the sponsored ones where you request 2 rows and sort by a "random" field. "&sort=random_XXX desc" where XXX is your random seed.
However, instead of using Elevate component, you can create a "keywords" field in your schema which enforces exact matching only, so that all "S" documents having a purchased keyword matching exactly (such as iPhone) will be selected for random sorting. See https://github.com/cominvent/exactmatch for an example of exactmatch field type. To use it for your "sponsored" query, be sure to quote the user query so you don't get any false matches: &q=keywords:"user exact query" (instead of &q.df=keywords&q=user exact query). You could also look into Grouping http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FieldCollapsing to try to get this as one single query, perhaps through two distict &group.query requests... -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com Solr Training - www.solrtraining.com 4. okt. 2012 kl. 08:14 skrev Yash Ganthe <yas...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > For an E-commerce website, we have stored the products as SOLR > documents with the following fields and weights: > Title:5 > Description:4 > > For some products, we need to ensure that they appear in the top ten > results even if their relevance in the above two fields does not > qualify them for being in top 10.
