Say I have these field declarations:
<field name="Title" type="text_general" stored="true" multiValued="false" />
<field name="Body" type="text_general" stored="true" multiValued="false" />
When I index "Title," I set the boost to 5, meaning words in the "Title" field should count for 5x normal.
Then I do this:
<copyField source="Title" dest="SearchText"/>
<copyField source="Body" dest="SearchText"/>
So, I have copied both fields into another field called "SearchText."
When I search "SearchText," are terms from the "Title" field still carrying their 5x boost? Or do they lose that in the copy? When you do a copyField, does the boost of all fields get "leveled out"?
