Hi You mean to say copy the String field to a Text field or the reverse . This is the approach I am currently following
Step 1: Created a FieldType <fieldType name="string_lower" class="solr.TextField" sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" /> <filter class="solr.TrimFilterFactory" /> </analyzer> </fieldType> Step 2 : <field name="str_category" type="string_lower" indexed="true" stored="true"/> Step 3 : <copyField source="ts_category" dest="str_category"/> And in the SOLR Query planning to q=hospitals&qf=body^4.0 title^5.0 ts_category^10.0 str_category^8.0 The One Question I have here is All the above mentioned fields will have "Hospital" present in them , will the above approach work to get the exact match on the top and bring "Hospitalization" below in the results Thanks Balaji On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 9:38 AM, Way Cool <way1.wayc...@gmail.com> wrote: > If I were you, probably I will try defining two fields: > 1. ts_category as a string type > 2. ts_category1 as a text_en type > Make sure copy ts_category to ts_category1. > > You can use the following as qf in your dismax: > qf=body^4.0 title^5.0 ts_category^10.0 ts_category1^5.0 > or something like that. > > YH > http://thetechietutorials.blogspot.com/ > > > On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 2:06 PM, balaji <mcabal...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi all > > > > I am new to SOLR and have a doubt on Boosting the Exact Terms to the > top > > on a Particular field > > > > For ex : > > > > I have a text field names ts_category and I want to give more boost > to > > this field rather than other fields, SO in my Query I pass the following > in > > the QF params "qf=body^4.0 title^5.0 ts_category^21.0" and also sort on > > SCORE desc > > > > When I do a search against "Hospitals" .
