Hello,

I have started to work with Hibernate Search and there is functionality that I don't know how to implement it, I have checked on Internet and in Hibernate Search in Action.

I want to modify the scoring or relevance of the documents by the values of a 'numeric' field.

For example,
Document -> field title | field value
Document 1 -> 'the car of Peter' | '5'
Document 2 -> 'the car of Peter' | '3'
Document 3 -> 'the car of Peter' | '7'

In this case, I would like to receive the document in the order: Document 3, Document 1 and Document 2.

I don't want to sort by field value or by field title and field value. I want to modify the scoring returned by Lucene applying the field value. It's something similar to Google giving preference to the results more visited by the users.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
yes you can do that, we call it "Dynamic Boosting" as the boost factor is the option which influences scoring.

Thank you very much
