If I remember correctly the scoring plug-in overrides the boost value that was set in the index filter. The wiki sample is too old :(. You need to write your own scoring plug-in (which is very simple BTW).

I am making a custom application that has required me to write a parse and index plugin. After getting these to work I decided I wanted to boost some of the fields I was indexing so I followed the Wiki example (http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/WritingPluginExample) that talks about creating an Indexer extension that adjusts the boosted value of a field. However, following this example I do a crawl and the fields do not show up as boosted in the index. I am using Luke to examine the index produced by Nutch. Instead, all fields have the default boost of 1.0. Is there some configuration that overrides the IndexerPlugin setting the boost on a field level basis? Thanks, Paul Ramirez
