Is there a way where we do not have to change the page UI?
This is the search page for your reference.

We used something like field collapsing, but it wasn’t with Solr or Lucene.
They had not been invented at the time. This was a feature of the Ultraseek
engine from Infoseek, probably in 1997 or 1998.
With field collapsing, you provide a link to show more results from that source.

Hi Walter
You used field collapsing for your case as well?
For my case the search result page is listing of products. There is a option to
select the number of products to display per page.
Let's say 40 products per page is selected. A search result has 100 matching
products but these products belong to only 20 suppliers. The page will only
display 20 products (1 product per supplier).
We still need to fill up the remaining 20 empty products.
How can I handle this scenario?

We had a similar feature in the Ultraseek search engine. One of our customers
was a magazine publisher, and they wanted the best hit from each magazine
on the first page.
I expect that field collapsing would work for this.

Hope I understand what you meant by positive business requirements.
With a few supplier's products dominating the first page of a search result,
the sales will not be able to convince prospectiveor existing clients to sign
up.
They would like the results tofeature other supplier's products as well.
To the extreme case, they were thinking of displaying the results tobe in such
order
Supplier A product
Supplier B product
Supplier C product
Supplier A product
Supplier B product
Supplier C product
...
Theyare alright with implementing this logic tothe first page only
andsubsequent pages will be as per current logic if it is not possible to
implement it to the entire search result.
Will take a lookat Collapse and Expandto seeif it can help.

You have described your _negative_ business requirements, but not the
_positive_ ones. So, it is hard to see what they want to happen. It is
easy enough to promote or demote a particular filter matches. But you
want to partially limit them. On a first page? What about on the
second?
I suspect you would have to have a slightly different interface to do
this effectively. And, most likely, using Collapse and Expand:

.

Hi
We have a business requirement to breakupa supplier's products from
dominating search resultso as to allow othersuppliers' products in the
search result to have exposure.
Business users are open to implementing this for the first page of the
search resultif it is not possible to apply tothe entire search result.
From the sample keywords users have provided, I also discovered thatmost of
the time a supplier's products that are listed consecutively in the result
all have the same score.
Any advice/suggestions on how I cando it?
Please let me know if more information is require. Thank you.
