I've done some testing with the example docs and it behaves similar when there is a zero doc boost. Luke, however, does not show me the index-time boosts. Bost document and field boosts are not visible in Luke's output. I've changed doc boost and field boosts for the mp500.xml document but all i ever see returned is boost=1.0. Is this correct?
Anyway, i'm looking at Nutch now for reasons why i sends a zero boost on a docuement.
