Hi,
 LIA has info about boosting terms and/or fields but how do I go about
boosting an entire bracketed subquery. For example: if I have a query
consisting of 2 subqueries like:
(xyz:AAA OR qwe:BBB) OR (xyz:CCC OR zxc:DDD)
 I want to boost subquery1 so that documents are ranked accordingly.

I presume you're asking how QueryParser syntax allows for this? Simply add ^2.0 (or whatever boost you'd like) after the expression:

    (erik OR otis)^2.0 lucene

<http://www.lucenebook.com/search?query=%28erik+OR+otis%29%5E2.0 +lucene>

You'll see the Query from the parse displayed (we use stemming, so "otis" get stemmed in this case, poor guy, as does "lucene").

    Erik
