I'm pretty sure this is a bug or incompatibility with Luke - I'm using boosted documents, and I seem to remember that Luke reported everything as 1.0, even though my test applications showed things correctly.
The boost in the final app is working fine, so the functionality of Lucene appears to be correct. Cheers, Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Don Vaillancourt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 January 2006 17:48 To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Boost value and LUKE Hello All, I am testing the boost value within the latest version of Lucene and I'm inspecting the results through Luke. For each FIELD that I want to boost I use the setBoost method. And everything looks good. But Luke is refusing to exposure the boost value and keeps returning 1.0 for the specified columns (well actually all columns) when I have set one column to 0.5 and the other to 0.75. 1. Is there something I am doing wrong? 2. Is there a bug in Lucene? 3. is there a bug in Luke? Anyone have any hints.
