Hits Rank and Page Boost problem

[Massimo Miccoli <mm...@iltrovatore.it>]

Dear Nutch dev,

I want to know if  the Boost calulated for Pages from inlink count at
indexing and fetching time is used on the search.
Using DistributedSearch seams that Page Boost is not used to calculate
the ranks for pages. What I see in my result pages
is most pages with low page Boost is on top and some with high Boost below.
For example by explain.jsp:


1)  boost = 5.3968873 score for query= 50.692223
2 ) boost = 5.586193   score for query= 46.90389
3)  boost = 6.0371985 score for query= 43.306103
4) boost = 7.388178    score for query= 37.984783
....

So only the score for query is considered for sort (rank) the hits
results? For an hits I think that ranks must be boost*score for query or
I'm wrong?

Thanks,

Massimo
