Hey,
Please disregard this, I worked out what the actual problem was. I
am going to post another query with something else I discovered.
Thanks :)

Hey,
I have been having some problems getting good search results when
using weighting against many fields with multi-values. After quite a
bit of testing it seems to me that the problem is (at least as far as
my query is concerned) is that the only one weighting is taken into
account per field. For example, in a multi-value field if we have
"Comedy" and "Romance" and have separate weightings for those - the
one with the highest weighting is used (and not a combined weighting).
Which means that searched for romantic comedy returns "Alvin and the
Chipmunks" (Family, Children Comedy).
Query:
facet=on&fl=id,name,matching_genres,score,url_path,url_key,price,special_price,small_image,thumbnail,sku,stock_qty,release_date&sort=score+desc,retail_rating+desc,release_date+desc&start=&q=**+-sku:"1019660"+-movie_id:"1805"+-movie_id:"1806"+(series_names_attr_opt_id:"454282"^9000+OR+cat_id:"22"^90000+OR+cat_id:"248"^90000+OR+cat_id:"249"^90000+OR+matching_genres:"Comedy"^90000+OR+matching_genres:"Romance"^70000+OR+matching_genres:"Drama"^50000)&fq=store_id:"1"+AND+avail_status_attr_opt_id:"available"+AND+(format_attr_opt_id:"372619")&rows=4
Now if I change matching_genres:"Romance"^70000 to
matching_genres:"Romance"^700000 (adding a 0) suddenly the first
result is "Sex and the City: The Movie / Sex and the City 2" (which
ironically is "Drama", "Comedy", "Romance - The very combination we
are looking for).
So is there a way to structure my query so that all of the
multi-value values are treated individually? Aggregating the
weighting/score?
Thanks in advance!
David
