Hi Peter, Yes you are correct. Send qq=connectivity with the following defaults section
<lst name="defaults"> <str name="echoParams">explicit</str> <str name="fl">*,score</str> <str name="q">{!type=boost b=product(answeredStatus, articleType) v=$qq}</str> </lst> Alternatively, you can switch to edismax query parser. It has native/built in boost and bf parameters. Former is multiplicative boost, latter is additive boost.
