OK, I need to take a step back, Michael, b/c I thought I understood your original comment, but I went to make the change and am no longer sure.

By "first term position" are you referring to multiple terms per position or do you mean the same term in different positions? When I implemented the BTQ (BoostingTermQuery) I modeled it pretty much off of the SpanTermQuery (STQ) which I felt had very similar functionality, other than having to load the payload.

Doesn't the next() method on the BoostingSpanScorer take care of moving through the various positions that the term appears at, whereupon it loads the payload at the position? Could you write up a patch to the test to demonstrate?

Thanks,
Grant

Hi Grant,

cool that you started implementing queries that use of payloads! I have a question about this one: BoostingTermQuery only takes the payload of the first term position into account for scoring. Could you explain why you implemented it this way? Shouldn't we rather compute the average of the payload values of all positions?

Now that payloads have been implemented, it will be good to make them searchable via one or more Query mechanisms. See http:// wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/Payload_Planning for some background information and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-755 for the issue that started it all.
