Limit total found results
Hi,
In my search application, I sometimes get more than 200k matches for a
specific query.
Although I only present the first 20, I still run over the entire 200k
because I use my own Similarity function.
Is there a way to make this search smarter? I thought limiting the total
possible matches to 50-100k, but couldn't find how to set it up in Solr. Any
ideas?
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks,
John

Hi Erick,
Hence my second question. Is there anything else I can do?

First question is whether you want to. There are ways to stop the
search, but how do you know that the last document of your 200K
isn't the most relevant? There's no way I know to determine that
without examining all the docs.
