OK - that's interesting. Perhaps I'm thinking too much like a developer and just want to be able to reach into context and grab anything any time I want... Thanks for the input...
===== To clarify, I want to boost the document's score if the user enters a term found in the contentType field. As an example, the term "figo" is one of a few that are stored in the contentType field. It's not a multivalued field - one entry per document. If a user types in "foobarbaz figo" I want all documents with "figo" in the contentType field boosted above every other document in the results. The order of docs can be determined by the other scores - my user's rule is simply that any with "figo" in contentType should be appear above any which do NOT have "figo" in that field. I can't know when the users will type any of the "magic" contentType terms into the search, so I think I have to run the search every time against the contentType field. So - that's my underlying use case - and as I say, I'm beginning to think the edismax setting of qf= text contentType^1000 answers my need really well -- and is easier. A quick test looks like I'm getting the results I expect...
