Field boosting on a per-index basis seems to have no effect when doing a multi-index search, even if search matches belong to only one index.

To reproduce:

  1. Create at least 2 search indexes
  2. Give a hight boost to one field in one of the index
  3. Create a multi-index view and perform a search that will render results on only one index

This makes it very difficult to give higher priority to specific contents.

Please find attached patch that solves this issue.

Thanks a lot for reporting this and already providing a patch!
The patch looks very good, and the problem really is obvious when looking at the code.
So, committed. Thanks again!

Small tip for the future: you can also just move an issue into a different project, you don't need to close it and create a new one.
Also, when posting a patch, please set the issue status to "Needs review" (or "Needs work", if the patch isn't finished yet).
