Thanks for the tip. Looks like a neat idea. I have never used the sort feature, so I have to create a new numeric key with values 1 or 2 - value 1 for white_papers/pdfs & 2 for others?
The problem also is that the facets I need to boost can vary by query. That is, if the query term 'a', boost the facets 'facet1 & facet2'. If the query term is 'b', then boost the facets 'facet4 & facet5'. Perhaps I can identify the most freqently used boost order, and create as many fields as there are orders. That would be the way right? - ashok Shalin Shekhar Mangar wrote: > > On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 11:32 AM, ashokc <ash...@qualcomm.com> wrote: > >> >> What we need is for the white_papers & pdfs to be boosted, but if and >> only >> if such doucments are valid results to the search term in question.
