Thanks for your reply Shawn. The query elevation worked for us. I have another
question though. Right now I have ways to handle specific queries in the
elevate.xml. The concern I am having is that I may have hundreds of queries
that need to return different pages first. Is the only way to do this via the
elevate.xml or is there a better approach for instance boosting fields ? When
I am boosting fields in this fashion it is not working for me :
<requestHandler name="/select" class="solr.SearchHandler">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="defType">edismax</str>
<str name="qf"> url^50 host^30 content^20 title^10</str>
</lst>
<arr name="last-components">
<str>elevator</str>
</arr>
</requestHandler>
Thanks for your help .

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding of how "defaults" works.
I have no idea what happens with multiple "q" parameters, which you have
configured in defaults. I do know that if your request includes a "q"
parameter, then what you've put in defaults for "q" is going to be overridden
and ignored.
This section of the documentation covers defaults, appends, and invariants:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lucene.apache.org_solr_guide_6-5F6_requesthandlers-2Dand-2Dsearchcomponents-2Din-2Dsolrconfig.html-23RequestHandlersandSearchComponentsinSolrConfig-2DSearchHandlers&d=DwID-g&c=L93KkjKsAC98uTvC4KvQDTmmq1mJ2vMPtzuTpFgX8gY&r=fbfOUDlf9NEzjz9RxL3c7eXnjEvWEy5WPCDMJD237NoEoCTMyiD1VH-RfTq9OP14&m=1RjiyUG9se2vpXYg-oLAiacdECUE6khXtuvegnw_nb0&s=LcNEhj3Y-S5KMW2HP0CG9t9UpRgEVsTcP7u8QgqW3tk&e=
I think the Query Elevation Component might be the kind of functionality you're
after. What you're trying to do with defaults is NOT going to work.
