Sets the boost factor hits on 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 {@link Lucene.Net.Documents.Document#GetBoost()} 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 {@link Lucene.Net.Search.Similarity#ComputeNorm(String, FieldInvertState)} method, the boost value is multiplied by the {@link Lucene.Net.Search.Similarity#LengthNorm(String, int)} and then rounded by {@link Lucene.Net.Search.Similarity#EncodeNorm(float)} before it is stored in the index. One should attempt to ensure that this product does not overflow the range of that encoding.
