I'm using Solr in a search app, where data has been divided in different types but in same collection. Each document in collection has d_type field which defines the type of data.
Example
Consider I have 5 type of data
d_type=ds1
d_type=ds2
d_type=ds3
d_type=ds4
d_type=ds5
I want to apply boosting but based on user preferences. I have stored user preferences in other collection against each user. Now on run time I call user preferences collection and fetch preferences of logged-in user in an object i.e
{
"1" : "ds4",
"2" : "ds5",
"3" : "ds1",
"4" : "ds3",
"5" : "ds2",
}
ds4 has highest priority and ds2 has the least priority in above example
I've tried adding bq with Solr query but did not get expected result
/select?bq=d_type:ds4^5+d_type:ds5^4+d_type:ds1^3+d_type:ds3^2+d_type:ds2^1
Above query does not work as expected. Please tell me what is wrong here.
solr version : 7.7.2
Thanks
I fixed this problem by
adding &defType=edismax
adding my multiple bq params
increasing the gaps between scores
/select?bq=d_type:ds4^500&bq=d_type:ds5^400&bq=d_type:ds1^300&bq=d_type:ds3^200&bq=d_type:ds2^100&defType=edismax
