[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-664?page=comments#action_12439370 ] Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-664: ------------------------------------
Two quick questions: > I think 'norm' is a good term for the product of lengthNorm(d) and > field boost. That's what it is called consistently in the code and API. > This quantity is represented in two places, but seems like a logical > candidate for the sort of factoring done here. Norm would also Include the doc boost, right? So this means replacing *indexBoost* with *norm* ? > This could be placed to the left of the sigma, since it does not depend on t. I think that norm depends on the field name and there may be terms of more than one field in the query.? > [PATCH] small fixes to the new scoring.html doc > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-664 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-664 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Website > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Attachments: boosts_plus_scoring_formula.patch, lucene.uxf, > scoring-small-fixes.patch, scoring-small-fixes2.patch, > scoring-small-fixes3.patch > > > This is an awesome initiative.
