(side note: if you are going to try and obfuscate your field names when sending explain output so we don't know you are using wikipedia data (not that we care), please at least be consistent about it so the final explanations actual make sense -- it will save everyone a lot of confusion and help us help you)
the biggest factor in your scores seems to be the fieldNorms for your name, title and alias fields ... they are so high, that tf and idf are pretty much irrelevant. By the looks of it, when you were indexing your docs, you used a consistent field boost per field on every instance of that field for every document ... this is really not a use case where index time field (or document) boosts make sense. in my opinion hte number one thing you can do to imrpove your relevency right now is to stop using index time boosts and use query boosts instead. If you don't want to reindex completely the LengthNormModifier class (in the misc contrib) can update all of your norms in place without reindexing and throw away any index time boosts you had. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
