Hi list, I hope this is not a silly question, but I should ask.
I developed a IR system for XML documents with Lucene and I was checking the explain() output for some queries, but I don't understand this part: 0.121383816 = fieldWeight(title:efecto in 1), product of: 1.0 = tf(termFreq(title:efecto)=1) 0.7768564 = idf(docFreq=4) It suppose tf refears to the term's frequency in the document, but I know there are more than one occurrences of this term in this document, so I noted that termFreq stores the frequency of a term in the document, but just for the given field, like if Lucene takes a field like a whole document. Is this correct, and if that is the case is this a good practice for IR? Thanks for any help or a good explanation.
