bq: Can I boost the Terms in the terms query I'm pretty sure you can't. But how many of these do you have? You can always increase the maxBooleanClauses limit in solrconfig.xml. It's primarily there to say "having this many clauses is usually a bad idea, so proceed with caution". I've seen 10,000 and higher be used before, you're really only limited by memory.
And I'm going to guess that your application doesn't have a high query rate, so you can likely make maxBooleanClauses be very high. Basically, the code that TermsQuerParser uses bypasses scoring on the theory that these vary large OR clauses are usually useless for scoring, your application is an outlier. But you knew that already ;) Best, Erick On Wed, Oct 18, 2017 at 9:42 AM, Webster Homer <webster.ho...@sial.com> wrote: > I have an application which currently uses a boolean query.
