Imho this topic came up a few days (or weeks?) ago. Short answer: <ou can set the boost on a per document basis at indexing time, see the API docs for Ferret's Document class. Cheers, Jens Hi jens I am indeed using Ferret's Document class. But am not sure about the calculation that ferret does to give me the output score. Although the output that i get is relevant enough but its like a black hole from outside. I tried to search for it from the C extension of ferret but lost track of it at the msea_search function. Could you please through some light on the calculation of score when am using boost for document as well as individual fields separately. Thanks and Regards Golak
