i am a beginner & developing my very first project with lucene.net i.e. an address search utility, lucene.net 3.0.3
using standard analyzer, query parser, (suppose i have a single field, Stored & Analyzed as well) - sample data : (every row is a document with a single field) (Postcode and street column concatenated)
- UB6 9AH Greenford Road something
- UB6 9AP Greenford Road something
- UB1 3EB Greenford Road something
- PR8 3JT Greenford Road something
- HA1 3QD something Greenford Road
- SM1 1JY something Greenford Road something
Searching
StringBuilder customQuery = new StringBuilder();
customQuery.Append(_searchFieldName + ":\"" + searchTerm + "\"^" + (wordsCount));
// this is for phrase matching
foreach (var word in words.Where(word => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(word)))
{
customQuery.Append(" +" + _searchFieldName + ":" + word + "*");
}
// this is prefix match for each word
Query query = _parser.Parse(customQuery.ToString());
_searcher.Search(query, collector);
all above (searching) working fine
Question
if i search for "Greenford road" , i may want that row that has 'SM1' should come up (means i want to priorities result as per postcode)
i have tested Query-Time-Boost and it works fine
but i may have a long list of priority postcodes sometimes (so i don't want to loop over each postcode and set its priority at query time
I WANT DOCUMENT TIME BOOSTING
but whatever document boost i set (at the time of indexing), it doesn't effect my search results
doc.Add(new Field(SearchFieldName, SearchField, Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED));
if (condition == true)
{
doc.Boost = 2; // or 5 or 200 etc (nothing works)
}
please HELP
i tried to understand similarity and scoring, but its too much mathematics there...
please help....
