using tokens to influence boost and score rather than filtering

[John Blythe <jo...@curvolabs.com>]

hi all,

i'm trying to do something similar to a simple fq=x on my query. i'm using
the regular ol' select handler. instead of blocking out all items not
related to x via the filter query i'd like to simply give them priority.

is there a way to do this? it seems like the dismax bq function may be
similar, but 1) i'd like to be certain before proceeding, 2) i'd prefer
even more to stick w my vanilla query processing instead of migrating to
dismax, at least for the near term.

thanks for any pointers

best,
