Cfindex fieldboost does nothing - CF10

Using cfindex to attempt to boost the "Question" field over the "Answer" field of Q&A data. I see no effect from adding anything in the fieldboost field on the index.

<cfindex action="refresh" collection="faq" type="custom" title="question" body="question,answer" fieldboost="question:2" key="faq_id" query="updateQuery" location_i="location_id" />

I get the exact same results if fieldboost is there or not. No change.

After spending countless hours on this, Update 3 finally resolved it. The update 3 docs don't mention it, but fixed it for me. Very frustrating, but glad to have it working.

Interesting....

I'm trying to use docBoost attribute in CFIndex and whenever the attribute is given, none of my documents get added to the collection.  It doesn't throw an error, it just doesn't do anything.  I'll install update 3 and see if it "boosts" my spirits!

Cheers!

I applied update 5, and nothing changed...docBoost doesn't appear to be working.
