I am trying to submit a query to Lucene with just one term trying to understand how the boost of a term influences the final document score: for example "computer" and "computer^5" (using query.setBoost()). Lucene returns the same documents with the same document score values for both queries. When I look at searcher.explain() the explanation is the same for both queries for each document.
In Similarity class I saw that the score function score(q,d) has a multiplying factor t.getBoost() and then I thought that boosting a query term would modify the final document score for the query. But it does not. If the boost does not change the final document score what is it utility? I think I am missing something. Thanks, Angelica. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
