> SynonymQuery accepts a boost per term, which acts as a multiplier on the term
> frequency in the document. When rewriting a SynonymQuery with a single term,
> we create a BoostQuery wrapping a TermQuery. This changes the meaning of the
> boost: it now multiplies the final TermQuery score instead of multiplying the
> term frequency before it's passed to the score calculation.
> This is a small point, but maybe it's worth avoiding rewriting a single-term
> SynonymQuery unless the boost is 1.0.
> The same consideration affects CombinedFieldQuery in sandbox.
