Hi,

You are correct that relevance is decided by Solr, based on the information 
indexed in Solr. 

It is possible to modify relevance at the Solr level, because DSpace makes 
available all the underlying Solr 
configuration: 
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/main/dspace/solr/search/conf  
 So, if you want to switch the scoring/ranking/relevance settings at the 
Solr level, you can do so.  Those changes will result in a different 
relevance ordering in your DSpace search results.

At this time DSpace doesn't have any documentation on how to modify ranking 
at the Solr level, because we've found that the default settings provide a 
good relevance for DSpace's purposes.   But, I'm guessing there likely are 
guides out there for tweaking Solr ranking/relevancy based on your own 
local needs.   If you find anything of interest to others, please feel free 
to share it here...especially if you come across a better relevancy 
configuration which you feel other DSpace sites may wish to consider.
