Mikhail, I've tried this out, but to be honest I can't work out what the score= parameter is supposed to add.
I assume that if I do {!join fromIndex=other from=other_key to=key score=max}somefield:(abc dev) It will calculate the score for each document that has the same "key" value, and include that in the score for the main document? If this is the case, then I should be able to do: {!join fromIndex=other from=other_key to=key score=max}{!boost b=my_boost_value_field}*:* In which case, it'll take the value of "my_boost_field" in the other core, and include it in the score for my document that has the value of "key"?
