: I am trying to debug my queries and see how scoring is done. I have 6 cores and : send the quesy to 6 shards and it's dismax handler (with search on various : fields with different boostings). I enable debug, and view source but I'm unable : to see the explanations. I'm returning ID and score as the "fl" field. Am I
you'll need to provide us with more details -- what does your query URL look like? what does your request handler config look like? what does the response look like? (does it even have a debug section) FWIW: doing a distributed query across the "example" setup from the 3x branch and the trunk i was able to see score explanations. : supposed to retun something else to be able to see the explanation? or is it : because it's multi-core? FYI: a terminology clarification: "Multi-core" is a term used to describe a single solr instance running multiple SolrCores (ie: using solr.xml) ... using the shards param is a refered to as "distributed search" ... they are orthoginal concepts. you can do a distributed search across several solr instances that are not using multi-core, or you can query a core in a multi-core instance, or you can do a distributed search of several cores, some or all of which may be running as part or multi-core solr instances. -Hoss
