I have the following field configured in schema.xml:

<field name="title" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true"
omitNorms="false" boost="3.0" />

Where "text" is the type which came with the Solr distribution.  I have
not been able to get this configuration to alter any document scores,
and if I look at the indexes in Luke there is no change in the norms
(compared to an un-boosted equivalent).

I have confirmed that document boosting works (via SolrJ), but our field
boosting needs to be done in the schema.

Am I doing something wrong (BTW I have tried using "3.0f" as well, no
difference)?

Also, I have seen no debug output during startup which would indicate
that fild boosting is being configured - should there be any?

I have found no usage examples of this in the Solr 1.4 book, except a
vague discouragement - is this a deprecated feature?

TIA,

Ian
