You can specify a boost while indexing by adding a 'boost' attribute to the
field tag in the XML.
For example:
<add>
<doc>
<field name="xyz" boost="2.0">value</field>
</doc>
</add>
In the same manner, boost can also be specified on the document tag to boost
the score for the whole document.
This information is not very prominent in the wiki but some documentation is
at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages
