I don't know if this is the issue or not but, concidering this note from the wiki :

NOTE: make sure norms are enabled (omitNorms="false" in the schema.xml) for any fields where the index-time boost should be stored.

In my case where I only need to boost the whole document (not a specific field), do I have to activate the << omitNorms="false" >> for all the fields in the schema ?

Thank you Sandeep,

I did post the document like that (a minor difference is that I did not add the boost to the field since I don't want to boost on specific field, I boosted the whole document '<doc boost="2.0"> .... </doc>'), but the issue is that everything in the queries results has the same score even if they had been indexed with different boosts, and I can't sort on another field since this is independent from any field value.

Any ideas ?

Hi Oussama,

This is explained very nicely on Solr Wiki..
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRelevancyFAQ#index-time_boosts
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages#Optional_attributes_for_.22add.22

All you need to do is something similar to below..

    -

    <add>  <doc boost="2.5">    <field name="employeeId">05991</field>
   <field name="office" boost="2.0">Bridgewater</field> </doc></add>


What is not clear from your message is whether you need better scoring or better sorting. so, additionally, you can consider adding a secondary sort
parameter for the docs having the same score.

Thank you for your reply bbarani,

I can't do that because I want to boost some documents over others,
independing of the query.

  Why don't you boost during query time?

Something like q=superman&qf=title^2 subject
