I've following 3 Documents in Lucene index.
-
As MBA you will play an integral role in implementing the strategy of the business and will have the responsibilities of the statutory accounts, compliance, audit including banking relationships, tax, treasury & cash management
-
As M.B.A. you will play an integral role in implementing the strategy of the business and will have the responsibilities of the statutory accounts, compliance, audit including banking relationships, tax, treasury & cash management
-
As Master of Business Administration you will play an integral role in implementing the strategy of the business and will have the responsibilities of the statutory accounts, compliance, audit including banking relationships, tax, treasury & cash management
My search input is :MBA and the query I search execute on Lucene is:
+((description:mba^3.0) (description:m.b.a.) (description:\"master business administration\"))
I get results in following sequence after sorting results by score in descending order:
Document # 3
Document # 2
Document # 1
Shouldn't Record # 1 come on top of search results since I've given it a higher boost and also that document contains the exact word MBA??
What am i missing here?
Thanks.

The matching query string makes up about 10% of the content of Doc#3. but only a tiny fraction of #1 and #2.
You might have to adjust your boosts to reflect the different lengths of the alternative query strings.
