Thanks Hoss. Yes, that approach would work as I can change the query.
Is there a way to extend the Edismax Handler to read a config file at startup and then use some events like commit to instruct edismax handler to re-read the config file. That way, I can ensure that my boost params are just on on Solr Servers' config files and If I need to change, I would just change the file and wait for commit to re-read the file. Any inputs? -Saroj On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 2:50 PM, Chris Hostetter <hossman_luc...@fucit.org>wrote: > > : Then, If I find that results are not of my liking then I would like to > : change the boost as following > : > : - Title - boosted to 2 > : -Keyword - boosted to 10 > : > : Is there any way to change this boost, at run-time, without having to > : restart solr with new boosts in edismax? > > edismax field boosts (specified in the qf and pf params) can always be > specified at runtime -- first and foremost they are query params. > > when you put then in your solrconfig.xml file those are just as "defaults" > (or invariants, or appends) of those query params. > > > > -Hoss >
