thanks for replying erick, We are currently using dismax but for this particular client we have coupled their implementation to standard parser and will be difficult to switch, although i might just have to bite the bullet for this.
"which you can do without dismax BTW, although you have to interpret the user's input" This is doing it by the _val_: hack within the q param correct? Or do you mean by having the query (i_authors:tilly^5 i_title:tilly^10) etc? How would i do it to say boost title by 5 - is that even possible within a function query? i will try just giving some crazy boost values to the most important fields and hope that it improves the problem. joe -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Index-time-boosting-tp1411105p1412259.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
