edismax/boost: certain documents should be last
(I am using solr 3.4 and edismax.)
In my index, I have a multivalued field named "genre". One of the
values this field can have is "Citation". I would like documents that
have a genre field of Citation to always be at the bottom of the
search results.
I've been experimenting, but I can't seem to figure out the syntax of
the search I need. Here is the search that seems most logical to me
(newlines added here for readability):
q=%2bcontent%3Anotes+genre%3ACitation^0.01
&start=0
&rows=3
&fl=genre+title
&version=2.2
&defType=edismax
I get the same results whether I include "genre%3ACitation^0.01" or not.
Just to see if my names were correct, I put a minus sign before
"genre" and it did, in fact, stop returning all the documents
containing Citation.
What am I doing wrong?
Here are the results from the above query:
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader">
<int name="status">0</int>
<int name="QTime">1</int>
<lst name="params">
<str name="fl">genre title </str>
<str name="start">0</str>
<str name="q">+content:notes genre:Citation^0.01</str>
<str name="rows">3</str>
<str name="version">2.2</str>
<str name="defType">edismax</str>
</lst>

not really (although you can probably get cleaner seperate of query and
penalty modifiers using either the bq or boost params on edismax, or the
"boost" QParser wrapping the edismax parser)
the nutshell issue is that there is no such thing as a negative boost --
to penalize the scores docs in set "A" you have to reward the docs in the
set of "not A"

Re: edismax/boost: certain documents should be last

I studied the results with debugQuery, and I understand how the search
is working. The two scores for the two terms are added together, so
specifying a boost less than one still adds to the score. For
instance, in the first result, content:notes has a score of 1.4892359
and genre:Citation^0.01 has a score of 0.0045761107. Those two numbers
are added together to get the total score.
I tried putting a negative boost number in, but that isn't legal.
Is there a way to express "genre does not equal Citation" as an
optional parameter that I can boost?

Re: edismax/boost: certain documents should be last

I had been experimenting with bq.
I switched to boost like you suggested, and get the following error
from solr: "can not use FieldCache on multivalued field: genre"
But that sounds like the solution I'd want, if it worked, since it's
more flexible than having to reindex.

Paul - look at debugQuery=true output to see why scores end up the way they do. Use the explainOther to hone in on a specific document to get it's explanation. The math'll tell you why it's working the way it is. It's more than just likely that some other scoring factors are overweighting things.

Thanks Erik. They don't need to absolutely always be the bottom-most
-- just not near the top. But that sounds like an easy way to do it,
especially since it is a lot easier to reindex now than it used to be.
I would like to know why my query had no effect, though. There's
obviously something I don't get about queries.

Paul (*bows* to the NINES!) -
If you literally want Citations always at the bottom regardless of other relevancy, then perhaps consider indexing boolean top_sort as true for everything Citations and false otherwise, then use &sort=top_sort asc,score desc (or do you need to desc top_sort? true then false or false then true?)
Then you can have Citations literally at the bottom (and within that sorted in score order) and likewise with non-Citations at the top and sorted score order within that. Other tricks still risk having Citations mixed in should relevancy score be high enough.
The morale of this story is: if you want to hard sort by something, then make a sort field that does it how you like rather than trying to get relevancy scoring to do it for you.
