I wound up using a TopDocs instead, which has a getMaxScore that I was able to use to normalize scores to between 0 and 1. In my case I was collapsing the results into quintiles, so I threw them all back into a FieldSortedHitQueue to get them sorted by secondary criteria once the scores were all one of 5 discrete values....

Hits will normalise scores >0<=1, but I'm using HitCollector and haven't worked out how to normalise those scores. From what I can see, the scores are just multiplied by a factor to bring the top score down to 1. Is this right or is there something more to it. Do I need to normalise scores anyway - what's the reason it's done?
