Re: "dismax" parameter "bq" filters instead of boosting

[Nicolas Franck]

I agree, but I thought my thread was lost in the long list of issues.

I prepared a simple case for solr 8.0:

  basic_dismax_set/config:

     schema.xml and solrconfig.xml

  basic_dismax_set/data:

     records_pp.json

 Total 6 records:

http://localhost:8983/solr/test/select?echoParams=all

 5 records match format:book

http://localhost:8983/solr/test/select?echoParams=all&q=format:book&defType=lucene

and 1 format:film

http://localhost:8983/solr/test/select?echoParams=all&q=format:film&defType=lucene

But when I try this (defType is dismax) ..:

http://localhost:8983/solr/test/select?echoParams=all&bq=format:book^2<http://localhost:8983/solr/test/select?echoParams=all&bq=format:book%5E2>

the result list is filtered on format:book (total of 5 records)

This url gives the same result by the way:

http://localhost:8983/solr/test/select?echoParams=all&fq=format:book^2<http://localhost:8983/solr/test/select?echoParams=all&fq=format:book%5E2>

while the character ^ isn't supposed to work in fq, right?

The same result in both Solr 7.4.0 and Solr 8.0

Thanks in advance
