Hi Otis, thanks for replying, Well I'm pretty sure it was there (and documented) in the 1.3 era. Strangely, it is still accepted in the Eclipse HTML editor, even for attribute completion (if you can, try it). But if it is truly deprecated, we will have to reassess part of our system design :(
If you or anyone else here has any historical perspective on this, I'd be interested to hear about it.

Can "boost" attribute really be specified for a field in the schema? I wasn't aware of that, and I don't see it on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaXml . Maybe you are mixing it with http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages#Optional_attributes_for_.2 2field.22 ?
