Boosting based on value of field

[Spadez <ja...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

By the looks of it I have a few options with regards to boosting. I was
wondering from a performance point of view am I better to set the boost of
certain results on import via the DIH or instead is it better to set the
boost when doing queries, by adding it to the default queries?

I have a "source" value and I want to boost it in the relevancy if it has a
certain value, say for example:

source=google then boost 10
source=bing then boost 5

Thanks for any help you can give!

James

Index time boosting should be a bit faster, but not as flexible. Probably
better to go for query time boosting first.
