All , I have a solr query which I am having a hard time configuring as I would want it configured. Suppose I have a situation where I have two fields field1(host field) and field2 (url field). I want a specific host to be bubbled to the top for all terms except for when I am searching for specific people in which case I want the URL to their landing page returned first. I have configured the dismax query parser in my solrconfig but it seems that the boost being applied is arbitrary .
To be more specific if I search for terms related to star wars I want to boost the starwars.com domain but if I search for Carrie Fisher or Mark Hamill I want to boost the url http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000402/ (Carrie Fisher's imdb page) to the top for Carrie fisher and the url http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000434/ (Mark Hamill's imdb page) to the top for Mark Hamill . Here would be my current configuration which is not working . <requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.SearchHandler"> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="defType">edismax</str> <str name="q">*:*</str> <str name="bq">host:(www.starwars.com)^10</str<http://www.starwars.com)%5e10%3c/str>> <str name="q">Carrie Fisher</str> <str name="bq">url:( http\:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000402/<http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000402/>)^8</str> <str name="q">Mark Hamill</str> <str name="bq">url:( http\:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000434/<http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000434/>)^8</str> </lst> </requestHandler> Do any of you know how to best handle a case like this ?
