Michael, this sounds like a pretty good usecase for CustomScoreQuery (http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_0/api/core/org/apache/lucene/search/function/CustomScoreQuery.html) The org.apache.lucene.search.function package provides flexible programmatic control over document scores. You boost up documents with greatest revenue or throw in some factors based on potential revenue even if the revenue "value" for a document has changed since it was indexed.
Another way would be to only update the norm value of a document periodically for documents with changing revenue. This prevents you from re-indexing. See IndexReader#setNorm ( http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_0/api/core/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader.html#setNorm(int,%20java.lang.String,%20byte) ) simon On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 10:33 PM, Michael Masters <mmast...@gmail.com> wrote: > My initial description may have been a little abstract.
