Hi,

When I search multiple terms in solr query , though I get all the results
containing either of the terms , but the results which contain both terms
are outranked by the others. For example:

Panasonic Camera

most of the top results are those which contain "Panasonic" ,  and they are
of accessories rather than a camera. but when I search Panasonic Camera^16 I
get what I want.

What's the correct method of doing this? that is when multiple terms are
searched , how to make sure , records contain all the terms shown first in
solr?
thanks & regards

Prav.

Depending on the query type you use, you can give weight to particular fields.
In dismax, the queried fields can be given a weight.

You could turn on the debug mode, there is a part which explain the scoring
of the query. It is a bit tricky but that could help.

Could you paste your query (full url), and the field definition in your
schema please ?
