There are several mistakes in your approach: copyField just copies data. Index time boost is not copied.
There is no such boosting syntax. /select?q=Each&title^9&fl=score You are searching on your default field. This is not your cause of your problem but omitNorms="true" disables index time boosts. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxQParserPlugin can satisfy your need. --- On Thu, 11/11/10, Solr User <solr...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Solr User <solr...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: WELCOME to solr-user@lucene.apache.org > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Date: Thursday, November 11, 2010, 11:54 PM > Eric, > > Thank you so much for the reply and apologize for not > providing all the > details. > > The following are the field definitons in my schema.xml: > > <field name="title" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" > omitNorms="false" /> > > <field name="author" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" > multiValued="true" omitNorms="true" /> > > <field name="authortype" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" > multiValued="true" omitNorms="true" /> > > <field name="isbn13" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="isbn10" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="material" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="pubdate" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="pubyear" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="reldate" type="string" indexed="false" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="format" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="pages" type="string" indexed="false" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="desc" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="series" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="season" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="imprint" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="bisacsub" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" > multiValued="true" omitNorms="true" /> > > <field name="bisacstatus" type="string" indexed="false" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="category" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" > multiValued="true" omitNorms="true" /> > > <field name="award" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" > multiValued="true" omitNorms="true" /> > > <field name="age" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="reading" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="grade" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="path" type="string" indexed="false" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="shortdesc" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" /> > > <field name="subtitle" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" > omitNorms="true"/> > > <field name="price" type="float" indexed="true" > stored="true"/> > > <field name="searchFields" type="textSpell" > indexed="true" stored="true" > multiValued="true" omitNorms="true"/> > > Copy Fields: > > <copyField source="title" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="author" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="isbn13" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="isbn10" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="format" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="series" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="season" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="imprint" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="bisacsub" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="category" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="award" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="shortdesc" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="desc" dest="searchFields"/> > > <copyField source="subtitle" dest="searchFields"/> > > > > <defaultSearchField>searchFields</defaultSearchField> > > > > Before creating the indexes I feed XML file to the Solr job > to create index > files.
