Hi,

We have some identical records in our data set (e.g. what is swine flu?
written by two different authors). When user searches for "What is swine
flu?", we want the result by author1 appear as the first result for x% of
the queries and result by author2 for y% of the queries (where x and y
should be configurable). I am wondering if I can use the percentShare value
(25, 40, 60, etc.) stored per record as an element in controlling the score,
yet generating randomness-- if record1 share is 75% and record share is 25%,
on an average record1 should appear 75 times and record2 25 times in 100
search queries; if not exactly 75 and 25, something in that range should be
fine too.

Any ideas on implementing this feature?


Thanks much!

Satish
