Impossible Boost Query?
I was wondering if this is even possible. I'll try to explain what I'm trying
to do to the best of my ability.
Ok, so our site has a bunch of products that are sold by any number of
sellers. Currently when I search for some product I get back all products
matching that search term but the problem is there may be multiple products
sold by the same seller that are all closely related, therefore their scores
are related. So basically the search ends up with results that are all
closely clumped together by the same seller but I would much rather prefer
to distribute these results across sellers (given each seller a fair shot to
sell their goods).
Is there any way to add some boost query for example that will start
weighing products lower when their seller has already been listed a few
times. For example, right now I have
Product foo by Seller A
Product foo by Seller A
Product foo by Seller A
Product foo by Seller B
Product foo by Seller B
Product foo by Seller B
Product foo by Seller C
Product foo by Seller C
Product foo by Seller C
where each result is very close in score. I would like something like this
Product foo by Seller A
Product foo by Seller B
Product foo by Seller C
Product foo by Seller A
Product foo by Seller B
Product foo by Seller C
....
basically distributing the results over the sellers. Is something like this
possible? I don't care if the solution involves a boost query or not. I just
want some way to distribute closely related documents.
Thanks!!!

Have a look at functionqueries.
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery
<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery>You could for instance use your
regular score and multiply it with RandomValueSource bound between 1.0 and
1.1 for example.
This would at least break ties in a possibly natural looking manner. (btw:
this would still influence all documents however)

The RandomValueSource class is available as a sort value, but it is
not available as a function. If it was, you could include the function
as part of the relevance but not all of it.

Re: Impossible Boost Query?
Posted by blargy <zm...@hotmail.com>.
This sound a little closer to what I want but I don't want fully randomized
results.
How exactly does this field work? Is it more than just a simple random sort
(order by rand())? What would be nice is if I could randomize documents
within a certain score percentage of each other. Is this available?
Thanks

Also, there is a 'random' type which generates random numbers. This

At this point (and for almost 3 years :) field collapsing is a source
patch. You have to check out the Solr trunk from the Apache subversion
server, apply the patch with the 'patch' command, and build the new
Solr with 'ant'.

Re: Impossible Boost Query?
Posted by blargy <zm...@hotmail.com>.
Thanks but Im not quite show on how to apply the patch. I just use the
packaged solr-1.4.0.war in my deployment (no compiling, etc). Is there a way
I can patch the war file?
Any instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
