Thanks Ahmet. Do you know of a way to set a tie on only a set of fields, so in this case on PHD, MASTERS and BACHELORS, but not on name? The end result being s student named Stanford who went to Stanford for a PHD would get a higher score than someone named Joe with the same degree with a query for 'stanford'. My use case will have a few of these groupings. I'd like to use the tie for the groups, not all fields.
