boosting and relevancy options from solr extensibility points -java-

[Cengiz Han <ce...@cengizhan.com>]

Hi all,
I am very new to SOLR, currently trying to spike it out.

I found some resources about boosting from query string parameters but I
want to configure all this boosting "rules" for my application in the search
server (solr) level, I don't want to build and manipulate SOLR queries in my
application level. SOLR should be keeping or relevancy related boosting
options in server side. Firstful can I do that? If so which one is the right
way, queryparser? request handler? component?

It would be great, If you can share a sample or an introduction
article/resource.

Thanks in advance

You might check the QueryElevation component in SOLR.

You can check 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Recommender+Documentation
apache mahout  for this purpose. It's got recommendation engine that works
pretty well.

Thanx
Pravesh

in a certain time period (say christmas) I will promote a doc in "christmas"
keyword.
or based on users interest I will boost a specific category of products.
or (I am not sure how can I do this one) I will boost docs that current
user's friends (source:facebook) purchased/used/...
or based on region I will promote a product in search result.
or boost discounted products.
or boost docs has all keyword as exact 'title"
...
actually most importantly I want to boost some docs based on current users
preferences/history/social network data/...

thank you for your help.

Have you looked at dismax/edismax?

I'm not clear what "rules" would be. Could
you provide some examples? Should
various fields get different boosts? Different
boosts based on part-of-speech? Boosts
based on what the value being searched is?

Best
Erick
