I'm indexing with solr 3.3.0 these docs:

<book id="bk101">

As you can see if I search for 'abc' solr returns all docs (I'm using solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory for indexing); my achievement is to have as result documents sorted using this logic:

  1. title_ex
  2. title
  3. keywords_ex
  4. keywords
  5. owner_ex
  6. artist_ex
  7. owner
  8. artist

I tryed "^" lucene sintax and dismax but the response list isn't the one I supposed.

`http://localhost:8080/solr33a/core0/select?q=abc&defType=edismax&qf=title_ex^10%20title^8.0%20keywords_ex^6%20keywords^5.5%20owner_ex^1.2%20artist_ex^0.8%20owner^0.5%20artist^0.2&fl=*,score

Result:

As you want to search across multiple fields with variable weightage, configure your request handler to use edismax query parser.
dismax allows you to search across fields and add weights to each field.

Example title match has weight 1, while matches on author 0.8, so that document having title matches would appear at the top.

<requestHandler name="search" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="true">
 <lst name="defaults">
   <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
   <str name="defType">edismax</str>
   <str name="qf">
      title^1 author^0.8
   </str>
   <str name="q.alt">*:*</str>
   <str name="rows">10</str>
   <str name="fl">*,score</str>
 </lst>
</requestHandler>
