(excuse the semi-appropriate forum to make this comment in - but it is very brief and may actually help improve the final Lucene-based app)
You may also like to import popularity data from Amazon using their open APIs and mix the relevancy between your own popularity score and theirs.

Let me explain this: I have a book collection in my store. I index my books like that: - One Lucene Document by book - Two Lucene Fields in the document - TITLE OF THE BOOK - KEYWORDS OF THE BOOK The keyword field is a BOOSTED field (* 1000) This is working fine :-) Now, I would like to search and sort my books according to the selling rate of the book. Exemple: If the user search for: "Java", the first books that lucene will return must be the best sellers books based on this specific search: "Java" If the user search for "Java and .net", the first books that lucene will return must bze the best sellers books based on this specific search: "Java and .net" For each query, I have a programm that records the product selling rate based on the specifiq query. For exemple: Query: "Java" -> [ProductId:123, rate: 23%], [ProductId:222, rate: 15%], [ProductId:567, rate: 7%]... Query: "Java and .net" -> [ProductId:99, rate: 45%], [ProductId:194, rate: 30%], [ProductId:93, rate: 10%]... How can I return books based on the selling rate (for a specific query) Must I developp a specifiq handler after the basic Lucene search and sort it programmatically, or is it possible to implement a mechanism at Index or search time ? Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english ;-) John -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Sorting-based-on-a-selling-rate-tf2175860.html#a601609 0 Sent from the Lucene - Java Users forum at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
