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.
Thank you for responding. I know how I can override the behavior, what I want to find out is whether or not it's necessary to do so -- if it's not necessary because Solr skips it, then everything is good. If it is necessary, I can open an issue in Jira asking for Solr to get smarter. That way everyone benefits and they don't have to do anything except upgrade Solr.
Thanks, Shawn
