Boosting

[Solr User <so...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a question about boosting.

I have the following fields in my schema.xml:

1. title
2. description
3. ISBN

etc

I want to boost the field title. I tried index time boosting but it did not
work. I also tried Query time boosting but with no luck.

Can someone help me on how to implement boosting on a specific field like
title?

Thanks,
Solr User

If you use index time boosting, you have to restart Solr and re-index
the documents after making the change to the schema.xml. For debugging
problems with query-time boosting, append debugQuery=on as a request
parameter to see the parsed query and scoring information.
