Is it possible to boost a document by the contents of a field? Given the query: text field:value
I want to return all documents with 'text'. Documents where 'field = value' boosted over documents where 'field = some other value'. This query does it: (text field:value)^100 (text -field:value) Is there a simpler way? (I might have left out crucial AND/OR clauses, but you get the picture.) I don't remember much on this topic. Does it appear in the Lucene lists? Is there a Lucene feature or open issue? Thanks, Lance
