Thanks for the response Hoss. The score I receive is from the Explaination object. The score stays the same regardless of how I boost the single term.
The score of the query: apple Is the same as the score of the query: apple^3 I am surprised by the result of the test. Would you expect "apple" and "apple^3" to receive the same score?
