I need to do the following: I need to give more importance to the “job_title” field. If for example I’m searching for the word “programmer” I need to show in the first place the results that have “programmer” in the “job_title” field ordered by date and then the results that have the word “programmer” in the “job_description” field. It is better to do an example, my english is not the best in the world 😉

I have this data:

job_title                | job_description                    | date_inserted
programmer               | job for IT guys                    | 10-Nov-2011
IT Python                | for python programmer              | 12-Nov-2011
PHP programmer           | PHP programming                    | 08-Nov-2011

I need for example when searching for the word “programmer” to give more importance to the field “job_title” but show also in the results the documents that have the word “programmer” in the “job_description” field. I need also to give importance to the “date_inserted” field, so that the results appears like this:

job_title                | job_description                    | date_inserted
programmer               | job for IT guys                    | 10-Nov-2011
PHP programmer           | PHP programming                    | 08-Nov-2011
IT Python                | for python programmer              | 12-Nov-2011

I’m doing a query like this:

/?facet=on&sort=date_inserted+desc&fl=*+score&start=0&q=programmer&bf=job_title:programmer^1.50&facet.field=location_ad_exact&facet.field=zone_ad_exact&fq=django_ct:(myapp.jobsadstext)&rows=20

But the result of this query is not what I need.

Can someone give me a clue about the track I need to follow to achieve the result?

Best Regards,

    1. You have to use DisMax query parser ‘defType=dismax‘) to use boosting.
    2. Use qf parameter for field query (in your sample you are using bf – boost function)
