Hi there,

is there any way to figure out a maximum theoretical score for a non text 
search query - something like:

"query": {
                "query_string": {
                    "query": "location:(1)^3 accommodation_comfort:(137 OR 
193)^2 accommodation_facilities:(459 OR 403 OR 319)",
                    "default_operator": "OR",
                    "default_field": "text",
                    "auto_generate_phrase_queries": true,
                    "analyze_wildcard": true
                }
            }


At the moment I'm using Django Haystack to generate the query - so I could 
build it differently if that helps.

Or is there a simple bit of maths I could do based on the number of 
attributes and the boost scores I'm giving - (assuming that there's no 
extra boosting going on at index time)?

Each document attribute I'm querying is just an array of integers.

The search is working fine - I'd just like to be able to know if I have a 
100% match, or a 50% match and so on so I can decide if I want to use the 
returned doc in the next step of the process.

i.e. 

if the max score is 2, I want to do something with the top 40 docs that are 
over a score of 1.5 (if there's only 20 >1.5, then that's fine, just those 
20, or if there's 60 >1.5 then only the top 40..)

and as the query can change, the max score changes, so "query": 
"activity:(1) location:(1)^3" - is getting me a max score of 1.264911 
because there's not much to search on - (I know because I can see the top 
results do exactly match..)
but a more complex search like "query": "activity:(1) location:(2)^3 
accommodation_facilities:(459 OR 347 OR 319)^1 
accommodation_comfort:(193)^2",  is scoring 2.1828206 as a 100% match

Thanks

Guy
