I think loosing the field boosts for PrefixQuery and friends would not be advisable. Field boosts have a very big range and from that a very big influence on the score and the order of the results in Hits. TermQuery relies on field boost and document term frequency, so having PrefixQuery ignore these would also lead to unexpected surprises.
