Search Engine Relevancy Tuning - A Static Rank Framework for Solr/Lucene
==Search Engine Relevancy Tuning - A Static Rank Framework for Solr/Lucene==
* Mike Schultz, Amazon.com (formerly Summon Search Architect) , mike.schultz@gmail.com
Solr/Lucene provides a lot of flexibility for adjusting relevancy scoring and improving search results. Roughly speaking there are two areas of concern: Firstly, a 'dynamic rank' calculation that is a function of the user query and document text fields. And secondly, a 'static rank' which is independent of the query and generally is a function of non-text document metadata. In this talk I will outline an easily understood, hand-tunable static rank system with a minimal number of parameters.
