You can set the boost on specific terms within your query, I believe the syntax is:
Id_field:someterm^2 So you can make a specific field's relevancy for a given term higher compared to another term using something like Id_field:someterm^2 || blob_field:someterm Im kind of a newb myself but I think this should work for you. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Rusch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 8:15 PM To: Lucene Users Subject: newbie scoring question I have documents that have a variety of IDs and names by which people may commonly refer to them. There is one guaranteed unique ID and multiple other names, synonyms, etc. that are "almost unique". Furthermore, any document may have text that refers to another document by any of these various identifiers. What I want is that when somebody does a search using one of these identifiers, the document(s) identified by that identifier score the best. For example, there could be document A identified by ABE-0000008, and document B that has within it's content "this is kinda like ABE-0000008." I want a search for ABE-0000008 to hit both of these, but for A to score better. I already am already indexing the identifier in the same field with the rest of the content for the docs, so I'm getting hits to both, just not sure how to achieve the scoring I want.
