I have a basic understanding but will do further reading... > Regarding your example : title:foo AND author:miller AND year:[2010 TO *] > last two clauses better served as a filter query. > > http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#fq You are right for a hand crafted query but I have to deal with arbitrary complex user queries which are syntax-checked within the front end application but not much more. I find it difficult to automatically detect what part of the query can be moved to a filter query. > By the way it is possible to combine different query parsers in a single > query, but I believe your use-case does not need that. > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Local+Parameters+in+Queries Perhaps not, but how can I tackle my original problem then? Is there a way to boost exact titles (or whatever is in pf for that matter) within fielded queries, since that is what I have to deal with? The example above was just that -- an example -- people can come up with all sorts of complex/fielded queries but most of them contain a title (or part of it) and I want to boost those that have an exact(ish) match. --Michael
