Boosting in version 1.2
Hello, Our documents contain three fields. title, keywords, content. What we want is to give priority to the field keywords, than title and last content. So we did the following in our xml file that is to be indexed we put the following doc field name=keywords boost=3.0letters/field field name=title boost=2.0This is a test/field field name=content![CDATA[This is a test]]/field /doc doc field name=keywords boost=3.0foobar/field field name=title boost=2.0This is a test letters/field field name=content![CDATA[This is a test]]/field /doc doc field name=keywords boost=3.0foobar/field field name=title boost=2.0This is a test/field field name=content![CDATA[This is a test letters]]/field /doc In our schema.xml we have put defaultSearchFieldtext/defaultSearchField copyField source=titlesearch dest=text/ copyField source=keywords dest=text/ copyField source=content dest=text/ No when we do a search like this http://localhost:8666/solr/select/?q=lettersversion=2.2start=0rows=10indent=on We don't always get the document with letters in keywords on top. To get this to work, we need to specify the 3 search fields like this http://localhost:8666/solr/select/?q=content%3Aletters+OR+titlesearch%3Aletters+OR+keywords%3Alettersversion=2.2start=0rows=10indent=on I was wondering if there is a way in Solr 1.2 to specify more than one default search field, or is the above solution still the way to go? Thank you, Thierry

This is precisely the situation that the dismax handler was designed for. Plus, you don't have to fiddle around with document boosts. try: qt=dismax q=letters qf=keywords^3.0 title^2.0 content -Mike
