Patrick if the question is about the code snippert at the page you mention,
which I copy below, I believe the answer is no and the author is aware of it
since he is adding a comment about not-normalized in the second example.
ScoreDocs and TopDocs are not returning normalized scores.
Normalized scores tend to be rare in Lucene nowadays, I believe earlier
strategy was to divide by max-score when the latter was bigger than 1.
paul
IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher("IndexPath");
//Load average length
BM25Parameters.load(avgLengthPath);
BM25BooleanQuery query = new BM25BooleanQuery("This is my Query",
"Search-Field",
new StandardAnalyzer());
TopDocs top = searcher.search(query, null, 10);
ScoreDoc[] docs = top.scoreDocs;
//Print results
for (int i = 0; i $<$ top.scoreDocs.length; i++) {
System.out.println(docs[i].doc + ":"+docs[i].score);
}
