Using the Explanation method can help me get the exact score of a field. I am concerned with how I can access it , this is what I am doing:
for(int i=0;i<hitCount;i++){ doc = hits.doc(i); score = hits.score(i); int ID = hits.id(i); System.out.println( id + "\t" + score + "\t" + doc.get ("item")); Explanation exp = searcher.explain( query , ID ); System.out.println( exp.toString() ); } This shows me o/p as follows (trimmed output): 6.6197186E-4 = (MATCH) product of: 0.0033098592 = (MATCH) sum of: 0.0033098592 = (MATCH) weight(contents:innovation in 4), product of: 0.28244132 = queryWeight(contents:innovation), product of: 1.0 = idf(docFreq=5) 0.28244132 = queryNorm 0.01171875 = (MATCH) fieldWeight(contents:innovation in 4), product of: 1.0 = tf(termFreq(contents:innovation)=1) 1.0 = idf(docFreq=5) 0.01171875 = fieldNorm(field=contents, doc=4) 0.2 = coord(1/5) The 6.6197E-4 is the total score of the document. How can I access the fieldWeight ? Any example would be great. thanks, AZ On 7/31/07, Erick Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Boost the other three fields at search time.
