Subject: Dismax phrase boosts on multi-value fields
Hi - I have a multi-value field, so say for example it consists of
'my black cat'
'my white dog'
'my blue rabbit'
The field is whitespace parsed when put into the index.
I have a phrase query boost configured on this field which I understand kicks
in when my search term is found entirely in this field.
So, if the search term is 'my blue rabbit', then I understand that my phrase
boost will be applied as this is found entirley in this field.
My question/presumption is that as this is a multi-valued field, only 1 value
of the multi-value needs to match for the phrase query boost (given my very
imaginative set of test data :-) above, you can see that this obviously matches
1 value and not them all)
Thanks for your help.
