hey there,
in Lucene 4 you can override the termStatistics / CollectionStatistics used for scoring in the IndexSearcher. You can take multiple fields into account here in order use it for scoring. Here is the javadoc link: http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/core/org/apache/lucene/search/IndexSearcher.html#termStatistics(org.apache.lucene.index.Term, org.apache.lucene.index.TermContext) http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/core/org/apache/lucene/search/IndexSearcher.html#collectionStatistics(java.lang.String) simon On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 11:25 PM, Siraj Haider <si...@jobdiva.com> wrote: > I am using DefaultSimilarity and did not boost any field while indexing.
