Hello,
I'm looking for suggestions on how to deal with the following (simplified)
scenario (Lucene 2.2.0):
Documents in my index have some number of fields that are searched in
various combinations via boolean queries.
Each document also contains a field that contains a field that isn't
searched
Hi Grant,
I was thinking that something in o.a.l.search.function was going to be the
route to take, but wanted to hear if there were other ideas from the
experts. Thanks!
A custom sort wouldn't work in this case because we don't want the items to
necessarily be bunched together, rather just have
Have a look at the o.a.l.search.function package, which can be used to
give boosts to documents based on the value contained in a field.
Also, would a custom sort work?

Erik,
Thanks for the response. The issue with
(original query) AND (field:foo^boost1 OR field:bar^boost2 OR
field:baz^boost3)
means that the 'field' must have a value for the query to succeed, which
isn't always the case: there could be documents where 'field' has no value.
So unless I understan
It seems like doing something like pre-processing the query
(or equivlently, adding a BooleanClause to a BooleanQuery)
that expressed
(your original query) AND (field:foo^boost1 OR field:bar^boost2 OR
field:baz^boost3)
should do the trick. Or I'm just not understanding what you're doing at all
