I have a situation where I want to search for individual words in a
phrase as well as the phrase itself. For example, if the user
enters ["classical music"] (with quotes) I want to find documents
that contain "classical music" (the phrase) *and* the individual
words "classical" and "music".
So in this case a matching document must have both terms? Or could
it just have one or the other? If it must have both, you could try a
PhraseQuery with a slop of Integer.MAX_VALUE. PhraseQuery scores
closer matches higher.
Of course, I could just search for the individual words and the
phrase would get found as a consequence. But I want documents
containing the phrase to appear first in the search results, since
the phrase is the user's primary interest.
I've constructed the following query, using boost values...
[+(content:"classical music"^5.0 content:classical^0.1
content:music^0.1)]
...but the boost values don't seem to affect the order of the
search results.
Am I misunderstanding the purpose or proper usage of boosts, and if
so, can someone explain (at least roughly) how to achieve the
desired result?
But as Chris suggested - check the IndexSearcher.explain() for some
documents you feel should be ranked higher and work from there.
You're on the right track, but some tuning appears necessary.
