when I use constraints with boot query, then boost is being ignored.. following is my options file
let $options :=
<options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search">
<constraint name="gs">
<value>
<element ns="http://xxxx/entity/target" name="gene-symbol"/>
</value>
</constraint>
<constraint name="taxid">
<value>
<element ns="http://xxx/entity/target/species" name="taxonomy-id"/>
</value>
</constraint>
<constraint name="search-text">
<custom facet="false">
<parse apply="parse-string"
ns="http://xxx/xxx/custom-constraints/dads/dadsAutosuggestConstraint"
at="/lib/custom-constraints/dads/dadsAutosuggestConstraint.xqy"/>
</custom>
</constraint>
<term>
<default ref="search-text" />
<term-option>case-insensitive</term-option>
<term-option>punctuation-insensitive</term-option>
<term-option>whitespace-insensitive</term-option>
<term-option>wildcarded</term-option>
</term>
</options>
when I do
let $q := 'gs:PARP1 BOOST (taxid:9606)'
the boost is ignored .. but when do without constraint
let $q := 'PARP1 BOOST (taxid:9606)'
it works like expected..
How can I make it work with constraints as well

If anyone is interested..once I changed the scoring to score-simple it worked. Added the following to my search-options
<search-option>score-simple</search-option>
By default it was doing logft and this was causing issues..
fyi: <search-option>relevance-trace</search-option> this option will tell you how the scores are being calculated
