Hi
We are trying to boost certain fields with relevancy. However we are not
getting results as per expectation. Below is the configuration in
solr-config.xml.
Even though the title field has a lesser boost than metatag.description results
for title field are coming higher.
We even created test data that have data only in description in
metatag.description and title. Example , page 1 has foo in description and page
2 has foo in title. Solr is still returning page 2 before page 1.
We are using Solr 5.5 and Nutch 1.11 currently.
Following is the configuration we are using. Any ideas on what we are missing
to enable correct field boosting?
<requestHandler name="/elevate" class="solr.SearchHandler" startup="lazy">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="qf">
metatag.keywords^10 metatag.description^9 title^8 h1^7 h2^6 h3^5 h4^4

<str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
