: ok. Shouldn't pf be applied on top of bq=? that way among the object_types
: boosted, if one has "Manufacturing" then it should be listed first?
No.
bq is an *additive* boost ... documents must match your "main query" to be
included, but if document X scores very high against the bq query, and
very low against hte main query, the cumulative score can still be higher
then a docuemnt Y which scores mid-range against both.
you can think of it under the covers esentially just taking your "q" (with
qf and ph fields) and your "bq" and building a query that looks like...
(+q bq)
...which is why what people should use 99% of the time is "boost" instead
of bq ... that creates a *multiplicitive* boost factor based on the
function specified (which can use the "query()" function to wrap an
arbitrary query) instead.
