I’ve done quite a bit of searching on this. Pretty much every page I find says it’s a bad idea and won’t work well, but I’ve been asked to at least try it to reduce the number of completely unrelated results returned. We are not trying to normalize the number, or display it as a percentage, and I understand why those are not mathematically sound. We are relying on Solr for pagination, so we can’t just filter out low scores from the results.
I had assumed that you could use score in the filter query, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Is there a special way to reference it, or is there another way to attack the problem? It seems like something that should be allowed and possible. Thanks.
