Why does Dismax not work in simple query?

All:

I am pretty new to SOLR, I upload some documents which have "season" in content field(store but not indexed, copy to text field) and in title field(store and indexed copy to text field)

When I use basic query without dismax like: 

http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=season&rows=5&wt=json&indent=true

It works very well and return correct results, but when I want to boost those documents which have more "season" in content rather than title, I used dismax like(I guess the way I use it is totally, cos the content is not indexed, but I at least expect certain return result even incorrect ):

http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=season&rows=5&wt=json&indent=true&defType=dismax&qf=content%5E100+title%5E1

There is no match result returned, I wonder if anyone could help me with this? Or could anyone show me how to use dismax correctly

Thanks

In your second query you specify the "content" field as the one and only query field but earlier you write that this field is stored but not indexed. If a field is not indexed you can not search against it.

I faced the same problem. Tracked it down to the schema definition where for dismax to work, field type should be text and not string

for e.g text_general,text_en_splitting,text_en

Its because of the tokenizers used for this field types.
