Hi Fransisco,
Did you come across :
scoreNorm = 1.0f / topDocs.getMaxScore();
or something of this sort in Hits?
As per my knowledge, the initial score is more than 1 but finally the scores
get divided by the maxScore of the matched doc set. i.e. Setting an upper
limit of 1 (for the max scorer).
Hope this clarifies things! :)
