Hi Lori, Yeah. I thought exactly of the same solution. Use a copy field and boost the relevancy of the the exact match. But my question is more broad here.
For eg, if i have a synonym for James as Jim, Games, Jimmy, Jameson And if I normalize the tf, norm, etc factors to 1, on searching for James I could get Jameson and Jim as my top matches since now the score of all the documents is 1. Definitely, having a copy field for James and then boosting relevancy of James would put James as the top result. But what after James, the order of results for the other synonyms is still skewed. By Levenstein distance, I would want Games to be the next set of results and probably Jameson as next. How do I achieve that? Thats my bigger question? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-boost-relevancy-tp3986200p3986280.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
