Hi gurus,

With Hibernate search is there anyway to affect the whole documents boost?

i.e.

doc #1 ->setBoost( 1.1f );
doc #2 ->setBoost( 1.5f );


I need to implement book search based on publisher type, bookname, book tags etc. There are three publisher type: A500, B500 and C500. I need book of publisher type A500 have lowest rank in search.

I think there would be two ways to do that: set boost to document and define boost factors in query.

for the second option, I generated query as following:

+activeBook:true +(publisherType:A500^0.001 accountType:B500^0.4 accountType:C500^2.2) +(bookName:java^5.0 bookTags:java^1.0 ...)

But I still can see A500 book show up as first records. Any way to improve that?

IF not, I have to try boost in document. any hints or tips on how to affect the whole documents boost?

Have a look at the @DynamicBoost annotation. It sounds this is what you are looking for - http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/ ... e/#d0e2829
