Index time boosting troubles

[Jón Helgi Jónsson <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I had working index time boosting on documents like so: <doc boost="10.0">

Everything was great until I made some changes that I thought where no
related to the doc boost but after that my doc boosting appears to be
missing.

I'm having a tough time debugging this and didn't have the sense to version
control this so I would have something to revert to (lesson learned).

In schema.xml I have <fieldType name="float" class="solr.FloatField"
omitNorms="false"/>

Is there something else I should be watching out for? Some query parameter
perhaps?

Or something else? I think wildcards in query affect it but I don't have
any, some setting in solrconfig.xml or cheme.xml?

Thanks!
Jon

...i don't relaly udnerstand your question.  what does that one fieldtype 
have to do with your specific issue?  if you post your whole schema, and 
some examples of hte types of docs you are indexing and the queries you 
are trying then people can probably help you see how/when/why your index 
time boosts come into play, but a single fieldtype from your schema 
without any context doesn't give us much to go on.
