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?
Yes.
I had been just been thinking about it in terms of how to use the
info I already had in the index. But making another field works, too,
and is probably simpler.
: 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.
Thanks! I had seen comments that the doc boost wasn't stored, but
didn't know how it worked.
