Hey there, I am trying to tune the boost of the results obtained using DisMaxQueryParser. As I understood lucene's boost, if you search for "John Le Carre" it will give better score to the results that contains just the searched string that results that have, for example, 50 words and the search is contained in the words.
In Solr, my goal is to give more score to the docs that contains both words but that have more words in the field. I have tried 2 options: 1.-On index time, I check the length of the fields and if are bigger that 'x' chars i give more boost to that doc (I am adding 3.0 extra boost using addBoost). 2.-In another hand I have been playing with tie and pf but I think they are not helping in my issue. Before using Solr (my own Lucene searcher and indexer) the first option use to work quite well, in Solr my extra boost seems to afect much less. Is this normal as I am using DismaxQueryParser or it should be the same? Any advice is more than welcome!
