: I'm well aware that some queries will return no results due to my : filtering by 0.3. : That's the point. I expect that some of my input queries will not be a : good match : to *any* of the documents in my second index.
what i'm trying ot make sure you understand is that picking 0.3 as an arbitrary number might make sense for soem queries, but not others ... the scores are inherently not comparable between queries, if you can't compare score(queryA) with score(queryB) then you also can't fairly comparse score(queryA) with a constant N which you also compare to the score(queryB). with so many similar threads, i get confused as to what's already been said sometimes, it doesn't look like i ever pointed out the FAQ on this (assuming you haven't already seen it)... http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/LuceneFAQ#head-912c1f237bb00259185353182948e5935f0c2f03 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.lucene.user/10810 -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
