Have you tried giving the name field a boost? E.g. name:(John Smith)^10 alias:(John Smith)
i'm also guessing youd be much happier with a sloppy phrase query then with the boolean queries you are currently using..
name:"John Smith"~3^10 alias:"John Smith"~3 -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
