Joaquin, have you seen this paper:
http://doc.rero.ch/lm.php?url=1000,43,4,20091218142456-GY/Dolamic_Ljiljana_-_When_Stopword_Lists_Make_the_Difference_20091218.pdf
Its of interest how they modified BM25's idf formula slightly in a way to
improve results when no stopwords list is used. I'm curious what you think
about this as it looks like a potential improvement for people not using
stopwords (multilingual situation, etc)
edit here is the quote: for simplicity
{noformat}
Using the original idf formula
idf =log[(n−dfj +0.5)/(dfj +0.5)], we have noticed
that when the underlying term tj occurs in more than half of
the documents (dfj >n/2), the resulting idf value would be
negative, and the final document score also could be negative.
As a means of estimating idf,we therefore suggest a new variant
defined as idf =log{1+[(n−dfj +0.5)/(dfj +0.5)]}.

> Add BM25 Scoring to Lucene
> --------------------------

> Key: LUCENE-2091
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2091
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib/*
> Reporter: Yuval Feinstein

> Original Estimate: 48h

> http://nlp.uned.es/~jperezi/Lucene-BM25/ describes an implementation of
> Okapi-BM25 scoring in the Lucene framework,
> as an alternative to the standard Lucene scoring (which is a version of mixed
> boolean/TFIDF).
> I have refactored this a bit, added unit tests and improved the runtime
> somewhat.
> I would like to contribute the code to Lucene under contrib.
