maybe i'm missing something, but it sounds like what you want is a simple sort on a numeric field -- whatever value you are tyring to use as the index time boost, you can just set as a field value instead and then sort on it right? : I was looking at how I would write a modified version of : MatchAllDocsQuery that would simply return the documents boost as the : score. But I haven't really figured out Lucene scoring. document boosts aren't maintained in the index ... they are multiplied by the various field boosts and lengthNorms and stored on a per field basis. -Hoss
