Hi All I have joined the group only today..and began working with lucene only recently.
My problem: I want to boost the ranking of certain documents, based on the values of certain fields. For example, if the field has a range of values from 0 to 100 and the user chooses something like 20 to 30, as an option, along with the query; I want the documents which satisfy that condition (The field value being between 20 and 30) to get a boost during ranking. Is there a way to do that in Lucene? I could not find an understandable explanation in the past mails about this. Hence, starting a fresh thread.
