I'll have to use StringBuffer and get the Explanation in it as a String.
Then parse StringBuffer to get the scores of each field, then add them and
then boost the scores. That seems to be a non-trivial task. Is there any
other way around it ?
Considering Boosting, can I boost the score of a field ? I came across
Boosting of a term in the query so that would mean,
"apache^4 jakarta"
This means I am more keen to find apache than jakarta. I am keen to boost
the score of a field, how can that be done ?
