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,

Did you reindex the data after you changed the boost?
