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? > Editorial Query Boosting Component > ---------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-418 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-418 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Reporter: Ryan McKinley > Fix For: 1.3 > > Attachments: SOLR-418-QueryBoosting.patch, > SOLR-418-QueryBoosting.patch > > > For a given query string, a human editor can say what documents should be > important.
