I think I'm almost done implementing hibernate search except for this one issue. The problem is I don't get any results if the fields I pass into the MultiFieldQueryParser include the class name. I get the expected results when the fields just include the field name.



will give me no results, but if the fields = {title, description} then it'll work give me results but not in the order that i'd like. Is there any way to include the class name in the field? I want to have the ability to assign different boosts per field per class. Is there anyway to achieve this? I used the seam dvdstore example to model this code, so I would think it's possible. Thank you.

Hi,

per default the filed name is just the property name. The class name it not prefixed. The @Field annotation takes a name parameter where you can set your own field name if you want. However, the names are not related to the boost. I think you should have a look at the @Boost annotation in the online documentation. You can use @Boost at the @Field, method or class level. Placing it on class level for example will boost all indexed fields in this class.
