One caveat re bq being space separated, that’s only true IF you have q.op unset or set explicitly to “OR” – if you change q.op, it affects bq identically to q, so the boost queries will become ANDed as well, and since nothing can have multiple primary types,
the bq will do nothing.<o:p></o:p></p>

When experimenting with different boost values, you have to restart after each change to config.rb (just the backend in a developer system, but in a system running a pre-built release you have to restart the whole thing, which gets tiresome).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
If you know how to access the Solr web interface (how depends on your setup) then it is quicker to play around with different boosts using that, before copying them into the ArchivesSpace config for final testing. To approximately simulate a simple keyword
search in the public user interface, for example searching all records for the keyword "cheese", set q to
<i>fullrecord:cheese</i>, set fq to <i>types:pui</i>, set fl to <i>primary_type,title</i>, select
<i>edismax</i>, then enter your boosts in the bf field.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
bq can be space-separated instead of using OR.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
If you literally want any search query to return all archival objects first, even ones that only match the keyword once deep inside a note, before any collections even ones which contain the keyword dozens of times, and then all other record types last, even
if their title is a precise match, then boost factors like 50 and 100 are appropriate. For a more subtle bias towards certain record types, without them totally dominating, start low and work upwards (the smallest boost you can apply is 1.1).<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Henry!<br>
<br>
So, good news! As long as you’re on a reasonably current version of ASpace, you can change order by primary type purely via configuration.<br>
<br>
The way you’d do it is by setting the bq param in AppConfig[:solr_params] – here’s what we’ve got in production right now (we’re setting q.op also, because we wanted the default search operator to be AND:<br>
<br>
AppConfig[:solr_params] = { "q.op" => "AND", "bq" => proc { "primary_type:resource^100 OR primary_type:accession^100 OR primary_type:subject^50 OR primary_type:agent_person^50 OR primary_type:agent_corporate_entity^30 OR primary_type:agent_family^30" }}<br>
<br>
To set it how you’d like it, you could take our BQ and adjust the values so that AOs > collections > etc., e.g.:<br>
<br>
AppConfig[:solr_params] = {“bq” => proc { “primary_type:archival_object^100 OR primary_type:resource^50” }<br>
<br>
This is assuming you don’t care about sort order for other types, but fill in however many you want and adjust boost increments (the number after ^) to suit.
<br>
<br>
For more info on how bq works, consult the docs for Solr’s dismax parser: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lucene.apache.org_solr_guide_6-5F6_the-2Ddismax-2Dquery-2Dparser.html&d=DwMGaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=_Mv1dY22K7jvT5MD7xjbvGVzRDOUMhx4WYcnPSIzYnE&m=4qxuV7g4RP-HIbimkIt2sAOG2pUqvutYsjt5uuWjYik&s=GHSTumGgJkdaEBsAJFe-dMlXts0xBKmeqbuFbjaA7QE&e=">
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/the-dismax-query-parser.html</a><br>
<br>
Note that in Solr it’s normal to pass multiple bq parameters if you want to boost multiple things, but prior to 2.6.0, solr_params didn’t support it, so one “bq” with a query using OR is a workaround.<br>
<br>
If you’re on 2.6.0 or higher, you can do:<br>
<br>
AppConfig[:solr_params] = {“bq” => [ ‘primary_type:archival_object^100’, ‘primary_type:resource^50’]}<br>
<br>
which is technically “cleaner” by solr standards, but is equivalent in function as far as I can tell.<o:p></o:p></p>
