solrj can not boost results

Question

I am new to solr . I tried to boost result by applying query

query.set("bq", "id:"
+ userId + "^100");

When I execute query it didn't boost result. Where I am missing?

Answer 1

It looks like you are missing defType as edismax

   query.set("defType", "edismax");
   query.set("bq", "id:" + userId + "^100");

Hope so it will help you..
