Hi, Special characters in the text used for boost queries are not removed. For example, bq=field1:(what is xyz?)^10 gets parsed into query field1:xyz?10 (what and is are stop words). Question mark didn't get removed -- field1 uses standard tokenizer and standard filter, so I expect it to get removed. When I test it using the analysis page agains field1, question mark did get removed.
any suggestions? thanks, satish
