This sounds a lot like you're trying to solve some problem and have decided
that boosting and comparing scores across queries is the answer. in other
words, the XY problem.
Perhaps if you explained what you're trying to
I was hoping to boost the entire query to give the query more weight compared
to other queries.
Instead of boosting my entire query, I may just multiply the resulting score
by the weight (or something like that).

Thanks for the response Hoss.
The score I receive is from the Explaination object. The score stays the
same regardless of how I boost the single term.
The score of the query:
apple
Is the same as the score of the query:
apple^3
I am surprised by the result of the test. Would you expect "appl
first off: if you are looking at the score from the "Hits" class, bear in
mind they are "psuedo-normalized" and don't mean much.
second: a "query" doesn't have a score, a document has a score relative to
a query ... scores can't be compared between different queries.
third: there is a "queryNo
