So, I am still new to Lucene, so please take this into consideration when reading this. Up until now, a novice like myself has been able to finagle Lucene into doing what we want. But now we have a problem that I have been searching for the answer to. We allow users to profile our products with a predetermined profile attribute id. We then want to take all the users profiles on a product and take a particular number of times that this particular profile attribute id has been chosen and come out with a percentage for it. This is no problem. Where the problem comes into play is that we want the user to be able to search for products that match that particular profile attribute id. We want the higher percentages to come up on top. To add to the complexity, we want to be able to allow for the user to select multiple profile attribute ids and still have a combination of the score to come up higher. Keep in mind, we would like to somehow keep these in one field, because we are trying to use the same algorithm for something that could potentially become very large. Any suggestions. The more detail, the better.
Example: Product A Attribute ID = 2 Percentage Chosen = 50% Attribute ID = 5 Percentage Chosen = 30% Attribute ID = 3 Percentage Chosen = 10% Attribute ID = 13 Percentage Chosen = 30% Product B Attribute ID = 1 Percentage Chosen = 50% Attribute ID = 2 Percentage Chosen = 20% Attribute ID = 3 Percentage Chosen = 75% So if a user selected the attributes that correspond to 2 and 3, then Product B should show up before Product A because it has a combined score of 95% and A has a combined score of 40%. Thanks for any help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Sorting-by-a-percentage-On-a-field-tf2829501.html#a7899335 Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
