Does a boost field in Solr has any use on the core calculation? For what I can see in [1] If a boost attribute is used in the doc/field level it my be encoded in the norm field and then used to boost the specific match in the doc/field. But I've a schema.xml with a boost field defined and using the edismax query parser it seems to be influencing my results.
This is my edismax configuration, in which I'm not using the boost field at all <str name="defType">edismax</str> <int name="rows">10</int> <str name="qf">title content url keywords</str> <str name="pf">title^90 keywords^20 url^50 content^90</str> I'm using Solr 4.10.3 on java version "1.7.0_65" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.5.1.2.el7_0-x86_64 u65-b17) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode) Is this expected behaviour?
