Promote Ranking based on Usage

[jliz2803 <ja...@bridgepointeducation.com>]

Hi we have just started using Solr at our company.  We have Solr setup and
are using C# to make communicate with it.  The user will perform a search
then make a selection from the search results.  We want to promote documents
based on how often the user selects them.  I was wondering if someone could
point me in the right direction of how to properly configure Solr to handle
this, and what calls I need to send to Solr when a user selects an item so
its ranking gets promoted.  Thanks

Just for reference you should start by reviewing Lucid's "click scoring 
framework":
http://lucidworks.lucidimagination.com/display/lweug/Click+Scoring+Relevance+Framework

To do all of that yourself is a major undertaking, but maybe you could 
identify a simpler subset that does just enough to satisfy your needs.

You could have a custom request handler (or even a separate application) 
that stores your click boost in an external file and then have a boost 
function query that references an ExternalFieldField:
