Daniel,
As I hope you've seen from the other messages on this thread, this is
by design.
What you've shown is _not_ boost working improperly. Boosts are part
of the score via the fieldNorm value, and I'm certain that your
boosts are being taking into account for scoring. Boosts are not
retrievable as-is from the Document object after a search. We should
javadoc that getter more clearly and note that it is really only
valid when you create a Document, not when you retrieve an existing one.

field.getBoost() always = 1.0

Daniel,
Could you give us a test case that shows the boost not working
properly?
I'm using document level boosting (which is really what field level
boosting does under the covers) in some of my applications and it is
working as expected.

When I boost fields while indexing, the fields still have a boost
of 1.0
during searching. When I view the values via Luke, it confirms the
value
of 1.0. Do I have to boost it agin during search? I want certain
fields
to have higher priority/score during search. How do I get it to
work? I'm
using version 1.4.3. Any help will be appreciated.
