: Looking at output from Luke, however, all fields are reported as having a : boost of 1.0. : : The following possibilities occur to me. : : (1) The entire index-time-boosting approach is misconceived
Yes. see Erick's comments about index boosts vs query boosts and why what you are trying to do won't work. : (2) Luke is misreporting, because index-time boosting alters more : fundamental aspects of scoring (tf-idf calculations, I suppose), and the : index-time boost is thus invisible to it I'm not exactly sure how Luke is labeling things, but one aspect to remember is that index time boosts are used to generate the field norms -- if you have omitNorms="true" on your fields, the filed norms are always going to be reported as "1", which may be what you are seeing. If you are not using omirNorms="true" then please provide more details as to what exactly you are seeing in Luke. -Hoss
