Solr: High priority in fields

I'm trying to search in solr but I want to prioritize the search for a field (i.e. Title) over the match in other fields like "Directors". This is part of my schema.xml

<fields>
    <field name="Id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"/>
    <field name="Title" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
    <field name="OriginalTitle" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
    <field name="Directors" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" required="false"/>
    <field name="Language" type="text_general" indexed="false" stored="true" required="false"/>
    <field name="text" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/>
</fields>

<uniqueKey>Id</uniqueKey>

<defaultSearchField>text</defaultSearchField> 

<solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/> 

<copyField source="Title" dest="text"/>
<copyField source="OriginalTitle" dest="text"/>
<copyField source="Directors" dest="text"/>
<copyField source="Keywords" dest="text"/>

This is my request handler:

<lst name="responseHeader">
  <int name="status">0</int>
  <int name="QTime">2</int>
  <lst name="params">
    <str name="lowercaseOperators">true</str>
    <str name="pf">Title^100 Directors^10</str>
    <str name="indent">true</str>
    <str name="q">fo*</str>
    <str name="qf">Title Directors</str>
    <str name="stopwords">true</str>
    <str name="wt">xml</str>
    <str name="defType">edismax</str>
  </lst>
</lst>

And my result was:

<result name="response" numFound="4" start="0">
  <doc>
    <str name="Language">Ingles subtítulos español</str>
    <str name="Title">Footloose</str>
    <arr name="Directors">
      <str>Herbert Ross</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="OriginalTitle">Footloose (1984)</str>
</doc>
  <doc>
    <str name="Language">Ingles subtítulos español</str>
    <str name="Title">Amadeus</str>
    <arr name="Directors">
      <str>Milos Forman</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="OriginalTitle">Amadeus</str>
</doc>
  <doc>
    <str name="Language">Ingles subtítulos español</str>
    <str name="Title">Forrest Gump</str>
    <arr name="Directors">
      <str>Robert Zemeckis</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="OriginalTitle">Forrest Gump</str>
</doc>
  <doc>
    <str name="Language">Doblado al español</str>
    <str name="Title">Chimpancés</str>
    <arr name="Directors">
      <str>Alastair Fothergill</str>
      <str> Mark Linfield</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="OriginalTitle">Chimpanzee Esp</str>
</doc>
</result>

but i want this result:

<result name="response" numFound="4" start="0">
  <doc>
    <str name="Language">Ingles subtítulos español</str>
    <str name="Title">Footloose</str>
    <arr name="Directors">
      <str>Herbert Ross</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="OriginalTitle">Footloose (1984)</str>
</doc>
  <doc>
    <str name="Language">Ingles subtítulos español</str>
    <str name="Title">Forrest Gump</str>
    <arr name="Directors">
      <str>Robert Zemeckis</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="OriginalTitle">Forrest Gump</str>
</doc>
<doc>
    <str name="Language">Ingles subtítulos español</str>
    <str name="Title">Amadeus</str>
    <arr name="Directors">
      <str>Milos Forman</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="OriginalTitle">Amadeus</str>
</doc>
  <doc>
    <str name="Language">Doblado al español</str>
    <str name="Title">Chimpancés</str>
    <arr name="Directors">
      <str>Alastair Fothergill</str>
      <str> Mark Linfield</str>
    </arr>
    <str name="OriginalTitle">Chimpanzee Esp</str>
</doc>
</result>

What should i do in my query to get the response that i want??

Solution

  • You are boosting your Phrase Field matches, but not your Query Field matches. You probably want to boost all, especially since your search is not actually a phrase:

    <str name="pf">Title^100 Directors^10</str>
<str name="qf">Title Directors</str>

    Try putting the same weights on the qf field.
