: Foolish me...override a static method...silly silly. Still, I think : there must be some way. I don't care about the field : normalization...there must be some way to make it return a constant 1 : when using a new Similarity class.
as discussed: norms are a value explicitly stored in your index, so the easiest way to ensure that they don't factor into the score is to use OMIT_NORMS (or use your custom SImilarity with your customlengthNorm function) when indexing. once your index is built, the only way to ignore norms is with a custom IndexReader (it's the "IndexReader.norms" method you need to worry about) fortunately FilterIndexReader solves a lot of the busy work so you can focus on just the norms method. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
