David Smiley commented on SOLR-17319:
-------------------------------------
Yeah; awesome post Ilan! I agree this reminds me of "overrequest". But this
isn't even specific to sharding! If we imagine only one shard, the scenario
described is also applicable. One might imagine intentionally requesting more
docs from both sub-queries in order to get better top-X. That could be a nice
option to add of the feature of this JIRA. That said... I suspect it's not
very valuable since relevance ranked results focuses on the top of the top-X.
The closer you get to X, the less a user cares.

> Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) is an algorithm that takes in input multiple
> ranked lists to produce a unified result set.
> Examples of use cases where RRF can be used include hybrid search and
> multiple Knn vector queries executed concurrently.
> RRF is based on the concept of reciprocal rank, which is the inverse of the
> rank of a document in a ranked list of search results.
> The combination of search results happens taking into account the position of
> the items in the original rankings, and giving higher score to items that
> are ranked higher in multiple lists. RRF was introduced the first time by
> Cormack et al. in [1].
> The syntax proposed:

> "lucene": {
> "query": "id:(2^=2 OR 4^=1 OR 3^=0.5)"
