It looks like the query parsing is working fine. When you say "The scores stay at the baseline suggesting no match on the boostQ", perhaps they are still getting a boost, but just not as big when you used the boost terms separately because of the coord (the "coordination factor" in a boolean query that makes docs matching fewer terms have a lower score). Why don't you try lowering the default score from 1.0 to 0.1 - this should give a bigger relative boost to documents that match the boost query. -Yonik http://lucidworks.com
