Can I boost a field and not a term ?

I am building an index which has several fields (name, make, OEM name and description)

E.g

ID: 1
Name: Wrench
Make: Test
OEM Name: Wrench 123
Description: Nice wrench

ID: 2
Name: Allen Wrench
Make: Rick
OEM Name: null
Description: It's a good one!

So when I search for allen wrench, given that the word wrench is in name, oem name and description it makes sense that the first result is ID 1.

However I want to specify that the field Name has an extra boost so that when I search for allen wrench ID 2 will be the first result.

Is that possible?

I’ve just released version 2.3.0 which now re-introduces field boosts as well as adding document boosts. Documentation is being updated, I will updated the guides at some point too, but this is what the interface looks like:

var idx = lunr(function () {
  this.ref('id')
  this.field('title', { boost: fieldBoost })
  this.field('body')

  documents.forEach(function (doc) {
    this.add(doc, { boost: documentBoost })
  }, this)
})

@olivernn Can we have field specific boosting available in lunr 2.0 similar to what we used to have in lunr 1.0. Suppose, if we have 2 fields like ‘title’ and ‘body’ and we want to boost results which have queries matched in ‘title’ over the queries matched in ‘body’ , we cannot achieve it using term level boosting. Thanks in advance.
