What type of boost are you trying to set?

The Apache_Solr_Document class contains methods for setting a document level 
boost as well as individual 
field boosts. You'll need to use the document class for adding documents to 
solr that you want boosts on. 
They should all be listed in the PHPDocs.

<code>
....
$document = new Apache_Solr_Document();

// set a boost for the document
$document->setBoost(2);

// get the current document boost
$document->getBoost();

// add a field with a boost as the last parameter
$document->addField("field", "value", 2);

// get a current field's boost
$document->getFieldBoost("field");

...
</code>

Does this address all your boosting needs?

I've verified that the boost functions I've mentioned exist in the download and 
not just in trunk source. So I'm 
considering this a "lack of wiki documentation" issue. 

I've documented my comments on the boosting functionality into a new FAQ wiki 
page:

Boosts?
