I have a pretty good installation with your modul. Thanks for the hard work.

Now I was wondering how I could bias results. I want to make a content type more relevant then others. I hear you can do that with apache solr. But I liked the way search api module works much better. Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, this is not possible out of the box with the Search API Solr module. Only if you want a strict ordering and that ordering happens to be alphabetical (or exactly in reverse) for the content type machine names, you can just add a sort in Views.

Otherwise, you'll have to manipulate the queries and/or documents sent to Solr, with hook_search_api_solr_query_alter() or hook_search_api_solr_documents_alter(), respectively.
Use either this tip or this one from the Solr Relevancy FAQ to find out what you will have to change.

Thanks drunken monkey, that was fast and precise. I will look into it when I have a bit more time. If I find something useful I will post it back here for others to have.
