I thought lucene would always order...but I guess you are right..OTOH, in lucene Hits I see: TopDocs topDocs = (sort == null) ? searcher.search(weight, filter, n) : searcher.search(weight, filter, n, sort); This gives me the idea, that with no sort, Hits are returned by relevance. AFAIK, returning hits by doc id is done by specifying a sort, namely SortField.DOC /** Sort by document number (index order). Sort values are Integer and lower * values are at the front. */ public static final int DOC = 1; I'll do some tests and will provide the results > > at some point in the discussion of the EG for JSR 170 the score was > actually named rank, which would have better matched your expectation. > assuming that a lower rank value is better. but then it was decided to > call it score where higher values mean more relevant.

WDYT? I think this would be more in line what people would expect, so +1 >> >> Bottom line, I'll default to adding 'order by @jcr:score descending' when no >> order is >> specified :-)) > > or we change jackrabbit to do that if there is a fulltext clause (aka > jcr:contains()) in the query :) I will try to find why the results seem to be not by default according lucene scoring...I would think this is namely the default with no sort as described above: I must be wrong somewhere I guess. I think it would make sense, that if we have no order by, we default to the lucene order...I'll test this now to see whether I am wrong about the default lucene ordering. Furthermore I can live without the default 'order by @jcr:score descending' because I now know this. It depends on whether we think other people/users will benefit from this. WDYT?
