Re: Index time boosts, payloads, and long query strings

2009-11-22 Thread Girish Redekar
Hi Erick - Maybe I mis-wrote. My question is: would "title:any_query^4.0" be faster/slower than applying index time boost to the field title. Basically, if I take *every* user query and search for it in title with boost (say, 4.0) - is it different than saying field title has boost 4.0? Cheers,

I still think they are apples and oranges. If you boost *all* titles, you're effectively boosting none of them. Index time boosting expresses "this document's title is more important than other document titles." What I think you're after is "titles are more important than other parts of the documen

Weighting of synonyms

2009-11-22 Thread L
Howdy, I recently rolled a custom WordNet synonym filter that pulls synonyms from WordNet during indexing. All that is nice and dandy; however, it causes problems in the sorting. Sometimes, the top match will come from a synonym rather than the original word. An example in our system is a se

Oops, you're right, term listings and counts for deleted docs are adjusted during merges. I had the impression that optimize had some special powers here that merge does not. Thank you for bringing expungeDeletes to my attention. On Sat, Nov 21, 2009 at 7:46 AM, Yonik Seeley wrote: > On Sat, Nov

"query" function query; what's it for?

2009-11-22 Thread David Smiley @MITRE.org
It's not clear to me what purpose the "query" function query solves. I've read the description: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#query but it doesn't really explain the point of it. I'm sure it has to do with subtleties in how scoring is done. Can someone please present a use-case? ~
