The error is now gone, which is great. Thanks so much for fixing that so
quickly!
Looking at the results of the search (with debug on for readability), it
doesn't look like the boost is actually getting applied? I have a boost on
another field (same name, but without the sort_ prefix) and in the BooleanQuery
section of the search result it looks like this:
entry_human_id:1220091,boost=1.0
The value in the index is actually 1.5. Is it the case that the boost isn't
taking effect or that my query doesn't manually boost that field?
