Hi, If you dont want to waste your cpu time, then comment the boost parameter in the query parser defined in your solrconfig.xml. If you cant do that, then you can overwrite it sending the boost parameter for example using the constant function (e.g. http://..../...&boost=1&sort=your_sort). The parameter boost will be overwritten if it is not defined as an invariant.
