Correct syntax of qf and pf is fieldName^boostFactor, i.e, qf=name^10 price^2 However your query is a word, so it won't match in price field. I assume price field is numeric. You can simulate sum(weight1*text relevance score, weight2 * price). with bf parameter and FunctionQueries. q=red&defTypeedismax&qf=name&bf=product(price,w1/w2) http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxQParserPlugin#bf_.28Boost_Functions.29
