Hi Klaus,

You might want to just set the boost value of the Document using your importance number, then Lucene will factor that in automatically when scoring. See the Document#setBoost javadoc for info.

You could also sort on the field, I think, so that the more important docs come to the top.

Hi and a Happy New Year!

I created a lucene index with 2 fields (text and importance). The text contains 
the real text and importance is a field where I manually give a number between 
1 and 5 for the related document. When I search the index I find the documents 
with the highest revelancy weighted automatically by lucene. I'm just wondering 
if I can boost the results with the importance field I already have stored in 
the index. As I result I expect the same search results just weighted 
differently. Something like relevancy multiplied by importance.

Thank you so much,

 Klaus
