             Summary: Better cross-field scoring
                 Key: LUCENE-8216
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8216
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Adrien Grand
             Fix For: master (8.0)


I'd like Lucene to have better support for scoring across multiple fields. 
Today we have BlendedTermQuery which tries to help there but it probably tries 
to do too much on some aspects (handling cross-field term queries AND synonyms) 
and too little on other ones (it tries to merge index-level statistics, but not 
per-document statistics like tf and norm).

Maybe we could implement something like BM25F so that queries across multiple 
fields would retain the benefits of BM25 like the fact that the impact of the 
term frequency saturates quickly, which is not the case with BlendedTermQuery 
if you have occurrences across many fields.
