Property Boost

Gets or sets the boost factor for hits for this field. This value will be multiplied into the score of all hits on this this field of this document.

The boost is multiplied by Boost of the document containing this field. If a document has multiple fields with the same name, all such values are multiplied together. This product is then used to compute the norm factor for the field. By default, in the method, the boost value is multiplied by the and then rounded by EncodeNorm(Single) before it is stored in the index. One should attempt to ensure that this product does not overflow the range of that encoding.

The default value is 1.0.

Note: this value is not stored directly with the document in the index. Documents returned from Document(Int32) and Doc(Int32) may thus not have the same value present as when this field was indexed.
