If "red" is found in that field, it will get a boost of 10. If it is only found in the product field, then there will be no boost. Here's more information: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRelevancyCookbook#Boosting_Ranking_Terms Once you're comfortable with that, I suggest that you look into using the DisMax request handler. It will allow you to easily search across multiple fields with custom boost values. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler -Nick On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 12:26 PM, bhaskar chandrasekar <bas_s...@yahoo.co.in > wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to know how can i give boosting to search input in Solr. > Where exactly should i make the changes?. > > Regards > Bhaskar > > >
