Lars Eirik R	Tuesday 12 October 2010 5:00:57 am Hi. I need to boost my keyword attribute so that it will receive a higher score than any cases where the queried term is in the title or in the body text. Is there any easy config which will help me with this? I have tried setting the attribute boost in ezfind.ini for myparticular field and this works, but it never gets a higher score than any documents which have the queried term in the title for instance. Also what is the normal way of setting boost factors for an attribute. I assume that they are only relative to the other attributes?

Hi.

I need to boost my keyword attribute so that it will receive a higher score than any cases where the queried term is in the title or in the body text.

Is there any easy config which will help me with this?

Hi,

Did you reindex the data after you changed the boost?
