9:54 AM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: search performace Is epoch a Date? or a String? If a String, what format is it? Sorting by a Date keyword field will be sorting as a String value, which is a fair bit more resource intensive than if it was numeric. Try using a purely numeric field

I've been effectively off-line for a few days, so I'm not sure if anyone has replied on this thread yet. Using boosts will definitely use less resources than sorting. If you do use sorting for dates, be sure you're doing it numerically rather than lexicographically. Erik On Mar 10, 20

I have a large index that needs to yield very fast query times. I am sorting by date as default since I am interested in the most recent documents. I was wondering if I boosted the score of my documents in proportion to the date and not sorting would this increase search performance. Thoughts?
