A Query wrapper that allows to give a boost to the wrapped query. Boost values that are less than one will give less importance to this query compared to other ones while values that are greater than one will give more importance to the scores returned by this query. More complex boosts can be applied by using FunctionScoreQuery in the lucene-queries module
