Possibly, but probably not. Index time boosting is generally done to say one field is more important than another field, or one document is more important than another document, whereas query time boosting generally says this term is more important than that term.

Additionally, search time boosting has much more granularity than index time boosting, meaning you have more bits to express the boost value during search than you do during indexing.

Hey there,
I have a simple question about boosting fields,
I have a lucene indexer app that indexes data from a db. At indexing time I give different boost to the fields depending on if the field is title or content. Would it be the same to set the boost at searching time instead of at indexing? I mean, the results of the search would be exactly the same?

Thanks in advance
