Erick,
Your idea about reversing Joel's suggestion seems to give the best
results of all the options I tried...but I cant seem to understand why. I
thought the query shown below should give irrelevant results as sorting by
date would throw relevancy off...but somehow its getting relevant results
with fair enough reverse chronology. It is as if the sort is applied after
the docs are collected and reranked (which is what I wanted). One more
thing that baffled me was, if I change reRankDocs from 1000 to100 the
results become irrelevant, which doesnt make sense.
So can you kindly explain whats going on in the following query.
http://localhost:8080/solr/select?q=malaysian airline crash&rq={!rerank
reRankQuery=$rqq reRankDocs=1000}&rqq=*:*&sort=publish_date
desc&fl=headline,publish_date,score
I love the solr community, so much to learn from so many knowledgeable
people.
Thanks
Ravi Kiran Bhaskar
