Hi Grant Thanks for the instant reply. Actually, there are two parts of the problem I'm trying to solve:
1) I want to show the results which contain the exact query phrase on top followed by results containing all the terms in the query but the terms are not in the same sequence as the query. This means the result will be ordered as (exact match) followed by (results for ANDed query terms) 2) When the query terms are scattered far from each other, I want to give such results a low ranking. This is the formula I'm using: If the query is "A B C", I want to calculate the minimum distance in word count between 'A and B' say x, 'B and C' say y, 'C and A' say z. Then to calculate distanceWeight = (1/x) * (1/y) * (1/z), Hence, this value will be calculated and incorporated into lucene's scoring formula for each of the results (or maybe only top 1000 results) within the ANDed result set. Thanks in advance for all your help. regards Sajid Khan Grant Ingersoll-6 wrote: > > http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/scoring.html may be of some help, > plus the Javadocs and the code of course. > > What is it you are trying to do?
