Hi blargy,
Norms are:
- a field-specific multiplicative document scoring factor
- the product of three factors: user-settable 1) field boost and 2) document
boost (both default to 1.0), along with the 3) field length norm, defined in
DefaultSimilarity as 1/sqrt(# terms).
- encoded as a positi
Ok so as if I wanted to add boost to fields at indexing time then I should
include norms. On the other hand if I just want to boost at query time then
its quite alright to omit norms.
Anyone mind explaining what norms are in layman's terms ;)

You don't have to set norms to use boost queries or functions. Just have to
set them when you want to boost docs or fields at indexing time.
