Well, I've tried much larger values than 8, and it still doesn't seem to do the job ?

For now, assume my users are searching for exact sub strings of a real title.

I use a boost of 8 for title with no boost on the content. Both Infoseek and

You might not want the title to completely trump the content. That causes some 
odd anomalies. If someone searches for “ice age 2”, do you really want every 
title with “2” to come before “ice age two”? Or a search for “steve jobs” to 
return every article with “job” or “jobs” in the title first?

Also, use “edismax”, not “dismax”. Dismax was obsolete in Solr 3.x, five years 
ago.

I have a few hundred documents with title and content fields.

I want a match in title to trump matches in content. If I search for "connected 
vehicle" then a news article that has that in the content shouldn't be ranked higher 
than the page with that in the title is essentially what I want.

I have tried dismax with qf=title^2 as well as several other variants with the standard query parser 
(like q="title:"foo"^2 OR content:"foo") but documents without the search term 
in the title still come out before those with the term in the title when ordered by score.

Is there something I am missing ?

 From the docs, something like q=title:"connected vehicle"^2 OR content:"connected 
vehicle" should have worked ? Even using ^100 didn't help.

I tried with the dismax parser using

       "q": "Connected Vehicle",
       "defType": "dismax",
       "indent": "true",
       "qf": "title^2000 content",
       "pf": "pf=title^4000 content^2",
       "sort": "score desc",
       "wt": "json",

but that was not better. if I remove content from pf/qf then documents seem to 
rank correctly.
