Thanks for the response. Using 4.0 did not work either.
Additionally, I have also tried Field.setBoost(4.0) on the "name" field. That didn't work either.
Still perplexed....I assume people are using boosting with 1.4 successfully.

Try 4.0 instead of 4. That may be correct syntax (don't have QueryParser source to check), because the code takes boosts as float type values.

I have an index of restaurants with two fields. The "name" of the restaurant and a "description".
I would like to search for the word "bob" in both fields, but if it occurs in the "name", it would score higher. So, if "Bob Evans" is the name of the restaurant, but other restaurants refer to "Bob" in the description, the restaurant "Bob Evans" would score highest, but the others would also match the query.
I thought you could boost the term with a query like:
name:bob^4 description:bob
and it would boost the word bob if found in the "name" property, but this is not working for me. I get the exact same results using the above query and a simple "bob" query.
I am using lucene-1.4-final.jar.
I am using the PorterStemAnalyzer
Am I missing something. Lucene seems very capable, otherwise.
Thanks.
