Now that's clear! Since it's and Index-time boost, it was in the indexing documents section. I should have checked for that. Would you mind if I dare to update the scoring FAQ with the link to this page?
"To increase the scores for certain documents that match a query, regardless of what that query may be, one can use index-time boosts. Index-time boosts can be specified per-field also, so only queries matching on that specific field will get the extra boost. An Index-time boost on a value of a multiValued field applies to all values for that field." "Index-time boosts are assigned with the optional attribute "boost" in the <doc> section of the XML updating messages - LINK TO PAGE".
