: I'm having trouble getting a field of type SortableFloatField to not : weigh into to the relevancy score returned for a document.
unless you actually use the field in your query in some way it will not factor into the score at all -- no matter what options you set on it or the fieldtype. you use add the debugQuery=true param to your queries and look at the score explanation output for each doc that gets added to the very bottom of your results, you'll see a lot of stuff that may not make much sense -- but unless your field name appears in there somewhere your field isn't part of the score calculation. -Hoss
