Hi,
For the first question:
Yes. You can use 'boost' document property as well as 'boost' field
property:
--------------
$doc = new Zend_Search_Lucene_Document();
$doc->boost = 0.7;
...
$field = Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text('contents', $text);
$field->boost = 0.6;
$doc->addField($field);
-----------
It gives 0.42 (0.7*0.6) resulting boost factor for 'contents' field.
Boost factors are not stored directly in the index. So they can't be
retrieved from $hit->getDocument() object. But they are used for score
calculation.
With best regards,
Alexander Veremyev.

I have two questions.
Does Zend_Search_Lucene support document/field boosting? I'd like to see
support for that if it doesn't.
Probably more importantly, I signed a CLA a while ago, and I have moved,
changed jobs, changed email addresses since then, and I can't remember my
username pass to the developer stuff, anyway I can retrieve this info? I'd like
to get more involved with the framework, especially in documentation.
