Hi all the following is using Lucene 2.2.0.
I've been trying to alter the scoring of my search results to boost by
date. My idea was to boost documents while indexing using the date but
it doesn't work. So I put together this little sample piece of code to
investigate further and apparently setting the document boost does
nothing. In my example below, you'd expect the display the output 20 2
and 10 but I get 1 1 1. Is this normal behavior and if so how am I
supposed to use document boosting because it seems like I'm missing
something...
Here's the sample of code:
-----------
import org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer;
import org.apache.lucene.document.Document;
import org.apache.lucene.document.Field;
import org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader;
import org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter;
import org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory;
public class IndexTest {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Create bogus index
IndexWriter writer = new
IndexWriter(FSDirectory.getDirectory("C:/lucene_test/"), new
StandardAnalyzer(), true);
writer.setUseCompoundFile(true);
Document doc = new Document();
doc.add(new Field("testfield", "high ranking", Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.TOKENIZED));
doc.setBoost(20);
writer.addDocument(doc);
doc = new Document();
doc.add(new Field("testfield", "low ranking", Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.TOKENIZED));
doc.setBoost(2);
writer.addDocument(doc);
doc = new Document();
doc.add(new Field("testfield", "mid ranking", Field.Store.YES,
Field.Index.TOKENIZED));
doc.setBoost(10);
writer.addDocument(doc);
writer.close();
// Read bogus index
IndexReader reader =
IndexReader.open(FSDirectory.getDirectory("C:/lucene_test/"));
System.out.println(reader.document(0).getBoost());
System.out.println(reader.document(1).getBoost());
System.out.println(reader.document(2).getBoost());
}
}
Bruno,
Use Luke to examine your simple index and see if the boost is
registering. It will be on Luks's documents page about in the middle of
the screen. That'll at least tell you if it's registering with the
documents.
