Grant Ingersoll reassigned LUCENE-2479:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Grant Ingersoll
> need the ability to also sort SpellCheck results by freq, instead of just by
> Edit Distance+freq
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-2479
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2479
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: contrib/spellchecker
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Gerald DeConto
> Assignee: Grant Ingersoll
>
> This issue was first noticed and reported in this Solr thread;
> http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/spellcheck-issues-td489776.html#a489788
> Basically, there are situations where it would be useful to sort by freq
> first, instead of the current "sort by edit distance, and then subsort by
> freq if edit distance is equal"
> The author of the thread suggested "What I think would work even better than
> allowing a custom compareTo function would be to incorporate the frequency
> directly into the distance function. This would allow for greater control
> over the trade-off between frequency and edit distance"
> However, custom compareTo functions are not always be possible (ie if a
> certain version of Lucene must be used, because it was release with Solr) and
> incorporating freq directly into the distance function may be overkill (ie
> depending on the implementation)
> it is suggested that we have a simple modification of the existing compareTo
> function in Lucene to allow users to specify if they want the existing sort
> method or if they want to sort by freq.
