Hello All, I am trying to understand how exactly query time boosting works in solr. Primarily, I want to understand if absolute boost values matter or is it just the relative difference between various boost values which decides scoring. Let's take following two queries for example.
// case1: q parameter > concept_name:(*semantic*)^200 OR > concept_name:(*machine*)^400 OR > Abstract_note:(*semantic*)^20 OR > Abstract_note:(*machine*)^40 //case2: q parameter > concept_name:(*semantic*)^20 OR > concept_name:(*machine*)^40 OR > Abstract_note:(*semantic*)^2 OR > Abstract_note:(*machine*)^4 Are these two queries any different? Relative boosting is same in both of them. I can see that they produce same results and ordering. Only difference is that the score in case1 is 10 times the score in case2. Thanks, Pratik
