Can Sphinx be configured to give more weight to specific fields?

Question

Hey, so I wonder if the Sphinx can weigh certain fields of a document over others in its results. For example, if I were to search for the rock show , could sphinx be tuned to give a song called the rock show much higher priority over a song that has the rock show ?

Answer 1
