I am also releatively new to lucene and was wondering about this. The
way it seems to work, is that if you boost a field then you have to
actually specify that field in your query to benefit from that field
boost. Otherwise you'll search the default field and the boost will be
ignored. I hacked around this by just adding the field's text to the
default search field n times where n is the boost for that field. I
seriously doubt that this the ideal way to do it, but I couldn't figure
out how to do it other than reforming all of my queries to search all
the fields.
If someone has a real solution to this or could shed some more light on
the practical use of field boosts, I would appreciate it.
