Hi Puneet, if you type field is pre-determined text field ex type [compact, sedan, hatchback], I think you have to boost with query type field (q) to get more accurate boosting.
Ex: http://localhost:8983/solr/my/select?q=type:sedan^100 type:compact^10 (:*)^1&wt=json&indent=true&fl=,score&debug=results&bf=recip(rord(publish_date),1,2,3)^1.5&sort=score desc For publish_date, replace with the date you use for getting latest resultes. In the above query, things to note is that - fl=,score -> The result set would display score value for each document - sort by score as first sort field that will give you the documents with the highest boost value (score) on top Play around with the boosting values ^100 ^10 (perhaps 5,10,20 ) and observe how the score value will change the documents. I'm not really sure how solr calculation works, however the above query must give you the accurate boosted documents. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Boosting-results-on-value-of-field-different-from-query-tp4108180p4108190.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
