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.

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.
