Consider a people index, containing People documents with the following names:
Doc 1 [name: "Marcus"] Doc 2 [name: "Markus"] Doc 3 [name: "Mharcus"] Suppose I use an analyzer so that all 3 names have the same representation. Supposing I use the same analyzer when running a search for name=markus, is there a way to make Markus appear on top of the others? I was looking at this article ( http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_5_0/queryparsersyntax.html#Boosting%20a%20Term) but I'm not sure it applies to what I need. Thanks
