Thanks for the reply Mike. I think that was what was causing the issue. I discovered the effect after I bumped up the numbers a bit. Here's what I see now. Index time boost My Custom Similarity Default Similarity Doc 1133226.63131072 1213

Chris, Earlier I was trying to modify the Similarity computation to make it field dependent (we are trying to change tf based on the field). Now, I have reverted the custom computation so that the default Similarity is used. Fro testing, I boosted a single field in one doc. Y ... This is w
