I recently posted a similar question to this list. Currently I am just adding the boosted field to the default search field multiple times Look for a thread on this list with a subject of "Document Boost." There were a few interesting ideas posted about how to go about this.

This is issue with a field (let's call it "fulltext") containing all other fields' values (to perform "search in all" query). Still, while performing "search in all" I would like to boost some parts of this "fulltext" field.

One way I do this in Solr (where you can easily specify this type of combo field) is to add the field I want to boost multiple times. It's very course granularity, but it works.

See a discussion of this recently on the Solr mailing list.

Is there a way of boosting only fragment of the field? Let's say that I
have
a title and short description of something which I want to index into
"myfield" field - is there a way of boosting title as more important for scoring than description? I thought that maybe something like below would
work

maybe this is a silly question but why not create a title field and a
description field and
boost them separately?
