Field level boosting is used when one field is considered more or less important than another. For example, you may want the title field of a document to be considered more important so that if a term appears in the title this considered more important than if it appears in the body. On the other hand, document level boosting is about when a document is more or less important than another. For example, an FAQ is often considered a very important page and as such, may be required to appear higher in results than it otherwise would have. > > > 2) If we set the boost at field level (index time), should the query > contains the that particular field? > For example, if we set the boost for title field, should we create the > termquery for title field? > > Yes, if you want that it to make any difference.
