Help with Query/Function for conditional boost

[Shamik Bandopadhyay <sh...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

   I'm trying to create a function to boost dynamically boost a field based
on specific values for a searchable field. Here's an example:

I've the following query fields with default boost.

qf=text^2 title^4 command^8

Also, there's a default boost on the source field.

bq=source:help^10 source:forum^5

Among the searchable fields, command gets the highest preference. To add to
that,I would like to see boost results from source help further when a
query term exists in command field. With my current setting, documents from
forum are appearing at the top when a search term is found in command
field. Increasing the boost to source:help didn't make any difference.

Just wondering if it's possible to write a function which will
conditionally boost command field for documents tagged with source=help

if(termfreq(source,'help'), command^8, command^1)

The above function is just for reference to show what I'm trying to achieve.

Any pointers will be helpful.

Thanks,
Shamik

Hi Shamik,

I belive 5-args map function can be used here. Here is a link which may inspire you.
