using different field for search and boosting

[darniz <rn...@edmunds.com>]

hello
i wanted to know if its possible to search on one field and provide boosting
relevancy on other fields.

For example if i have fields like make, model, description etc and all are
copied to text field.
So can i define a handler where i do a search on text field but can define
relevancy models on make,model and description ie make^4 model^2

Any advice.

Se the Dismax Search Handler 

this handler support search on multiple fields and a relevancy biasing :)

I'm not sure I understand this. Unless you're including model in
the search, how can you expect model^4 to mean anything? And
if you are including model, would just including it as an OR
clause and boosting it work?

Perhaps a couple of examples of queries you'd like to run and how
you'd like boosting to influence the results would help....
