The problem to solve:<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
• When running search indexes with Solr, you might stumble upon is that you have various fields in your documents and you\u2019ve to adjust their weights to get reasonable results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
  \n

  \n

  \n
  • Finding those \u201cboosting\u201d values can be quite complex when you have many fields and many scenarios.<\/li>\n
  • Usually getting the values right is a task for very experienced integrators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Looking at it from a more technical perspective – when your Solr query looks like the one above, the question you\u2019ve to answer is how the values for the highlighted numbers should look like to get reasonable results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    In order to solve the problem answer what we expect the outcome to look like.<\/li>\n
    In other words, we\u2019ve to measure how reasonable a specific solution is.\n
    \n
    For a search engine this can be done with some sample queries and some expectations along with that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
    The expectation could come in a form that we explicitly tell which documents we expect in the result lists of specific queries (and at predefined positions).<\/li>\n
    We can simple test agains the expectations and check whether or not specific boost factor values actually satisfy them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
