Jake, we're already using index time boosts and tried querytime boosts earlier. None of them helped. The problem was that if the description contained a part of a multiterm query many many times it got higher score than the ones that contained the terms in their title. So it is hard to set the boosts such a way that they always work as expected. Or is there an easy solution for that? Am I doing something wrong,
