Edismax - bq taking precedence over pf

[ruby <rs...@gmail.com>]

I'm noticing in my following query bq= is taking precedence over pf.

&q=Manufacturing
&qf=Catch_all_Copy_field
&pf=object_id^40+object_name^700
&bq=object_rating:(best)^10
&bq=object_rating:(candidate)^8
&bq=object_rating:(placeholder)^5
&bq=object_type_:(typeA)^10
&bq=object_type_:(typeB)^10
&bq=object_type_:(typeC)^10

My intention is to show all objects of typeA having "Manufacturing" in name
first

But I'm seeing all typeA,TypeB,TypeC objects are being listed first,
eventhough if their name is Not "Manufacturing".

Is my query correct or my understanding of pf and bq parameters correct?

Thanks

: ok. Shouldn't pf be applied on top of bq=? that way among the object_types
: boosted, if one has "Manufacturing" then it should be listed first?

No.

bq is an *additive* boost ... documents must match your "main query" to be 
included, but if document X scores very high against the bq query, and 
very low against hte main query, the cumulative score can still be higher 
then a docuemnt Y which scores mid-range against both.

you can think of it under the covers esentially just taking your "q" (with 
qf and ph fields) and your "bq" and building a query that looks like...

	(+q bq)

...which is why what people should use 99% of the time is "boost" instead 
of bq ... that creates a *multiplicitive* boost factor based on the 
function specified (which can use the "query()" function to wrap an 
arbitrary query) instead.

I was asking about the field definitions from the schema.

It would also be helpful to see the debug info from the query. Just add
debug=true to see how the query and params were executed by solr and how
the calculation was done for each result.

ok. Shouldn't pf be applied on top of bq=? that way among the object_types
boosted, if one has "Manufacturing" then it should be listed first?

following are my objects:


<doc>
<id>1</id>
<object_name>Configuration</object_name>
<object_type>typeA<object_type>
<object_desc>Manufacturing</object_desc>
<Catch_all_copy_field> <--catch all field where contents of all fields get
copied to
</doc>

<doc>
<id>2</id>
<object_name>Manufacturing</object_name>
<object_type>typeA<object_type>
<object_desc>xyz</object_desc>
<Catch_all_copy_field> <--catch all field where contents of all fields get
copied to
</doc>

I'm hoping to get id=2 first then get id=1 but I'm not seeing that. is my
understanding of qf= not correct?

What's the analysis configuration for the object_name field and fieldType?
Perhaps the query is matching your catch-all field, but not the object_name
field, and therefore the pf boost never happens.
