I have same issue here and even more.

Content Type boosting and Boost more recent dates are not included in the score calculation.

This is my boosting scheme:

I have 4 content types with specific boosts

• Product group one = 21.00 boost
• Product group two = 13.00 boost
• Product group three = 8.00 boost
• Product group four = 5.00 boost

I have Boost more recent dates on field Authored on 3.00 boost

Body is 1.00 boost and Title is 2.00 boost.

And I'm getting this result in REST json from view, when I type term "eros":

Product group one can't have such low score as 5.255206 because it's boost factor is 21.

Also inside content type Product group one can't be older node "Tuesday, April 9, 2024 - 02:08" in front of more recent "Saturday, April 13, 2024 - 05:20"
