Erik,
Thanks for the response. The issue with
(original query) AND (field:foo^boost1 OR field:bar^boost2 OR
field:baz^boost3)
means that the 'field' must have a value for the query to succeed, which
isn't always the case: there could be documents where 'field' has no value.
So unless I understand the BooleanQueries this would be a non-starter.
Or am I missing something?
Thanks again,
