Boosting documents based on the vote count

[Alexandru Badiu <li...@ctrlz.ro>]

Hello all,

I have a field in my schema which holds the number of votes a document
has. How can I boost documents based on that number?

Something like the one which has the maximum number has a boost of 10,
the one with the smallest number has 0.5 and in between the values get
calculated automatically.

Thanks,
Alexandru Badiu

Oh, I see. Why not just use {!boost b=log(vote)}?

May be scale(vote,0.5,10)?

I know but I can't figure out what functions to use. :)
