: Can you please elaborate? I am passing user defined sort field and order whenever i search.
I think Mikhail just missunderstood your question -- he was giving an example of how to override the default sort (which uses score) with one that would ensure scores are not computed. : > Is there any way to completely disable scoring in solr cloud as i am : > always passing sort parameter whenever i search. In general, you don't have to do anythign special. Solr's internal code looks at the sort specified, and the fields requested (via the fl param) to determine if/when scores need to be computed while colleting documents. If scores aren't needed for any reason, then that info is passed down to the low level lucene document matching/collection code for optimizing the collection so scores aren't computed. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
