Rel Rank Not Working with Boost & Bury Catridge

Question

Hi everybody,
I am facing problem on record boost and bury,
The individual records that are selected for boost or bury. It is my understanding that, while we can boost or bury certain target records,
the unselected records would still be ranked according to the Rel Rank strategy, unless a sort property was engaged (Price, Width, etc.).
The cartridge does have drop-downs for Sorts and Relevance Ranking, both of which I switch to default,but the ranking of the unselected records still seems incorrect.
I have set Relevance Ranking using EQL,
String relStrategy = "static(P_ImageValid,descending),nterms,maxfield,glom,static(P_VendorInventory,descending),static(P_Popularity,descending)";
ERecRank relRank = new ERecRank("Site_Search", relStrategy, "matchall");
query.setNavRelRankERecRank(relRank);
I am using PBX-0.6.
Can any one help me out, how can i get result in Relevance Ranking order.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunil

You need to use the stratify as part of the rel rank strategy. Here is an example using the pbx example wine app with crossfield match turned on in the search interface 'All' . This is just the parameters but it shows you how to construct the rel rank with bury and boost.
In order for the query * portion to respect you current rel rank strategy as defined in the 'All' search interface you will need to construct a Ntx query like so and not use Ns.
&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial+rel+stratify(collection()/record[P_WineID="89955"],collection()/record[P_WineID="73036"],*),All
Hope this helps
