-------------------------------------------
Summary: Update Lucene FAQ regarding index-time field boosting
Key: LUCENE-4193
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4193
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: general/website
Reporter: Elmer van Chastelet
Priority: Minor
Current FAQ says the following regarding index-time field boosts:
{quote}Index time field boosts are worthless if you set them on every
document.{quote}
see [the
FAQ|http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ#What_is_the_difference_between_field_.28or_document.29_boosting_and_query_boosting.3F].
I think, this should be changed to {quote}Index time field boosts are worthless
if you set them on every document _and solely search on this field at query
time_.{quote}
Because, when searching on _multiple_ fields, a match in a properly index-time
boosted field will score higher than a match in a non-boosted field.
See [this discussion|https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1016615]
on Hibernate Search forums.
Not sure if there are more places where similar statements are made.
