I've been looking at some of the new search features within jackrabbit and am trying to figure out if one can provide boosting suggestions to fields on a per query basis. It looks like there may be some support for this in the source code, however, based on the docs the boosts look like they are index time boosts. I know that lucene and solr both support query time boosts using the ^ operator. I do not see any mention in the spec nor in any of the tests so I suspect it is not supported. However, I wanted to double check with the group. Has anyone tried to manipulate search results by boosting the importance of fields? This is more of a search function, but it seems like it would be helpful in a query situation as well.

thanks
