solr terms: boosting and dismax?

votes

Currently I am learning how SOLR works.

Words I usually see are boosting and dismax request handler. What do they mean?

I have googled it but found the explanations difficult to understand.

I also read that the dismax handler could search multiple document fields. What does that mean? Doesn't the standard search handler search in multiple fields when I'm querying?

Based on all your Solr questions, I strongly recommend you slow down and read the documentation. Otherwise you'll just end up doing trial-and-error programming. - Mauricio Scheffer
