Boost by Integer value on top of query

[marotosg <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a use where I need to boost documents based on two integer values.
Basically I need to retrieve companies using specific criteria like Company
name, nationality etc. 
On top of that query I need to boost the most important ones which are
suppose to be the ones with higher number of employees or locations around
the world.

These are two integer fields on my Solr index. My question here is
How can I boost  the companies with a higher number of employees or
locations?

Thanks,
Sergio MAroto

Thanks a lot for the answer.
I finally achieve this using boost and scale function on top of my query
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#scale

Thanks to scale no matter how big are the values or small on my People and
Assignment Columns I can range them to a value between 1 and 2. 

{!boost b=sum(scale(PeopleTotal,1,2),scale(AssignmentsTotal,1,2))}

If you’re using edismax, adding a boost parameter `boost=num_employees&boost=num_locations` should incorporate those integers into the scores.  Just try one at a time at first - you’ll likely want to wrap it into a single function, along the lines of something like `boost=mul(num_employees,num_locations)`
