I tried I also noticed that I am unable to sort by the strdist function: http://localhost:8080/solr/select?q=*:*&sort=strdist("seattle",city,edit)%20desc
Am I using the strdist incorrectly? The version of Solr I am using is $Id: CHANGES.txt 903398 2010-01-26 20:21:09Z hossman $ I know it isnt the latest version, but I am constrained by needing to keep to a minimum the number of changes between our current version and the version that accomplishes the task mentioned previously (essentially a binary sort that separates results where the city matches a given criteria from those that dont). Appreciate any help or advice someone can offer on this -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/can-t-use-strdist-as-functionquery-tp1023390p1032200.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
