no .. we actually want to boost. with "ORDER BY score, date" the date would only be a tie breaker. we really want to significantly boost the score of any document that is more recent. the use case is a news site, where in most cases people will not care about content from a year ago if there is content about the same topic from a week ago. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith [email protected]
