Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-418:
------------------------------------
I agree with changing the name from "boosts" to something else... what is "one
box"? (Google points me to their new search appliance ;)
re always putting the 'boosted' docs first... I'm not *against* making this
configurable, but is seems wrong.
If you want to force the sort to have the boosted docs first, isn't that:
{code:xml}
<lst name="invariants">
<str name="sort">score</str>
</lst>
{code}
Is there a real use case to have 'sort=date desc' put the boosted docs first?

> For a given query string, a human editor can say what documents should be
> important. This is related to a lucene discussion:
> http://www.nabble.com/Forced-Top-Document-tf4682070.html#a13408965
> Ideally, the position could be determined explicitly by the editor -
> otherwise increasing the boost is probably sufficient.
> This patch uses the Search Component framework to inject custom document
> boosting into the standard SearchHandler.
