Norms are per indexed-field. For every document it's the product of the lengthNorm and the index-time boost. It's really more of an implementation detail that you shouldn't need to know about unless you have a lot of indexed fields and want to omit them for memory reasons.
See DefaultSimilarity javadoc for lengthNorm... it's what makes hits on shorter fields score higher. -Yonik http://incubator.apache.org/solr Solr, the open-source Lucene search server On 7/10/06, Furash Gary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm guessing they're neither the guy from Cheers nor the sociology term ;-) The examples have you creating them before you do searches. What are they? The javadoc doesn't really explain their function (or at least not in a way I could figure out). Thanks. G
