[Amit Aggarwal <am...@gmail.com>]

Hello All ,

I am using defType=edismax
So will boosting will work like this in solrConfig.xml

<str name="qf">value_search^2.0 desc_search country_search^1.5
state_search^2.0 city_search^2.5 area_search^3.0</str>

I think it is not working ..

If yes , then what should I do ?

This should work. Try adding &debug=all to your URL, and examine
the output both with and without your boosting. I believe you'll see
the difference in the score calculations. From there it's a matter
of adjusting the boosts to get the results you want.


Best,
Erick
