Lucene scoring

[lucas van overberghe <lu...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

We are currently using Hibernate Search but had some questions
regarding scoring. We are implementing a quicksearchengine in our
webapp but want to customize the scoring a bit.

Let's say, you have a User named Peter, and a search is done on Peter.
The first result should therefore not be a document where his name
pops up a few times but instead be the contact details of Peter where
his name might popup only once.

How would we go and implement this ? Is it neccesary to change the
Lucene scoring algorithm or is there a better/easier way?

Thanks and kind regards,

Lucas Van Overberghe

Sounds like a job for boosting.  Document.setBoost() and/or
Field.setBoost().  The former has gone away in lucene 4.x.  See the
migration guide.

Or execute 2 searches, restricting the first to the contact docs or
whichever you want to be top of the list.
