Support for Field and Boost at Query Time

I think I found a way around this not using the builder

Maybe something like this could be added to the docs?

Hello,

This feature is already available. Just do this:

EDIT: This code is wrong, see my next message.

Each boost will be applied to the field mentioned just before, and only that field.

Please tell us if this solves your problem, so that I can close this ticket.

Correction: actually, due to how this is implemented, you need to call onField() for the first element only, then call andField for the others. You would do it naturally if you used the fluent API with hard-coded field names, but since you're translating values from your list of IndexedField, it's a bit more difficult.

Something like this:

Yoann,

You are right that does work, but I think my example is cleaner if you are building dynamically.

This can be closed.

Thanks for the feedback.

You example doesn't do exactly the same thing: you're using a query parser, so all sorts of other features are enabled, such as boolean queries (+field1:foo +field:bar), wildcard queries (prefix*suffix), boost queries (field1:bar^4), phrase queries (field1:"some words") and all sorts of other features that give some special characters a meaning. Which you might want, or you might not.

Anyway, you now have two solutions, which should be more than enough Closing.
