: word: termA^10.0 word: termB^2.0 : : I want ALL termA results (ordered by score) to come before ANY termB : results (also ordered by score). Is there a way to do this in the query : syntax? Or is this simple multiple queries?
the syntax lets you specify the query boost on each clause, but those boost are just one factor in determining score -- the TF, IDF, and index time boosts (include length norm) also come into play -- you can eliminate them by customizing your Similaity class. that will get you *close* to what you want, but you still have to worry about hte possibility that doc will match termB, termC, etc.. but not termA ... the scores from all of those other terms added up might be higher then the score from a doc that matches termA -- but there is a solution tothis too: instead of a BooleanQuery you can use a DisjunctionMaxQuery with the tiebreaker value set to 0, which means that even if multiple clauses match only the one with the highest score will contribute to the document score -- since you've eliminated TF, IDF, and index time boosts, that will mean only your query boosts will matter. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
