Hi,

I meet some problem with the score caculation with a PrefixQuery. To change score of each document, when add document into index, I have used setBoost to change the boost of the document. Then I create PrefixQuery to search, but the result have not been changed according to the boost. It seems setBoost totally doesn't work for a PrefixQuery. Please check my code below:

 @Test
 public void testNormsDocBoost() throws Exception {
    Directory dir = new RAMDirectory();
    IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(dir, new StandardAnalyzer(Version.LUCENE_CURRENT), true,
            IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.LIMITED);
    Document doc1 = new Document();
    Field f1 = new Field("contents", "common1", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED);
    doc1.add(f1);
    doc1.setBoost(100);
    writer.addDocument(doc1);
    Document doc2 = new Document();
    Field f2 = new Field("contents", "common2", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED);
    doc2.add(f2);
    doc2.setBoost(200);
    writer.addDocument(doc2);
    Document doc3 = new Document();
    Field f3 = new Field("contents", "common3", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.ANALYZED);
    doc3.add(f3);
    doc3.setBoost(300);
    writer.addDocument(doc3);
    writer.close();

    IndexReader reader = IndexReader.open(dir);
    IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(reader);

    TopDocs docs = searcher.search(new PrefixQuery(new Term("contents", "common")), 10);
    for (ScoreDoc doc : docs.scoreDocs) {
        System.out.println("docid : " + doc.doc + " score : " + doc.score + " "
                + searcher.doc(doc.doc).get("contents"));
    }
} 

The output is :

 docid : 0 score : 1.0 common1
 docid : 1 score : 1.0 common2
 docid : 2 score : 1.0 common3
