Hi Ingo, hi Jigal,
Thank you for your Responses!

Actually I already used a boost Query:
plugin.tx_solr.search.query.boostQuery = (type:fe_users)^1000
This results in the behaviour I descriped earlier.
What I haven't set is a boost-Function - did you mean that?
If I have to set a boost-Function - could someone provide me an example
for that? With the manuals its not that clear for me... :(

field.
We tried that too:
sortfield_intS = 1
for fe_users
and
sortfield_intS = 2
for all others.
Then a Query with
sort=title sortfield_intS asc
lists the user at first, but all other results seem to be sorted by
relevance...
Whats wrong? :)
Thanks again for your help on this.
Regards Jonas
