BoostWindowTermsFromStart
The number of terms at the beginning of the document for which to apply a scoring boost. Set this parameter to enable IDOL Content Component to rank results higher when they match query terms nearer the beginning of the document text.
The boost window applies to all terms in index fields. IDOL Content Component measures the window from the start of the document, rather than the start of a particular index fields. In general, this approach assumes that any index fields that appear before the main content are significant (such as a title or summary), and so it is appropriate to boost term occurrences in these fields.
The default value is 0, which means that IDOL Content Component does not apply a positional weighting boost for matches that occur early in the document.
