What makes the logtfidf score inappropriate for metadata?

It occurs to me that if you put the metadata in every doc one time (though not 
in the metadata section if it is not really “there” for the doc) you’ll fool 
the system into thinking that all metadata has the same tf and idf, so more 
like score-simple. It’s a hack and I’m not quite sure it will work, so please 
share the underlying result ordering problem so we know what to work around.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Boosting with simple scoring

Hi,

I am using cts:search with the option "score-logtfidf" and a cts:boost-query 
for my search. I am boosting on some meta-elements that are enumerations where 
the meaning does not matter. But what one value is "on" and due to logtfidf 
scoring (I guess) the boost on that value does not matter much.

logtfidf is perfect for my word queries, but not for the element-value-queries 
that I use in the boosting query. Is it possible to use "score-simple" for the 
boosting query only and "score-logtfidf" for the "real" query?

Best regards,
Andreas
