[TYPO3-Solr] query.boostQuery or query.boostFunction for custom doktype(s)

[Hendrik Nadler]

Hi,

okay thanks a lot, your answer explains the current behavior. 

>> "Boost functions work by multiplying the result. These have a very distinct effect which is not depending on the score of the user query."

So do I get this right, I should prefer using a boost function, because its somewhat more "powerful" for my needs (X is way more important than Y than Z)? Does anybody by any chance have an example for such a query?


Thx & regards, Hendrik

Boost queries can be space separated. They work by adding to the overall score of the user query. The tricky thing is that the score of the user query may change when other settings are changed. You would also need to debug a lot of queries to get an impression about the maximum score and now how much you need to boost.

Boost functions work by multiplying the result. These have a very distinct effect which is not depending on the score of the user query.
