Can some one pls help with the logic that can be applied to decide on the closeness requirement given below (like 50% matching). This matching is a pure text matching.
Since the current lucene score does not translate into the percentage of closeness, is there anything else that can give this information? Or is there any other route that can be taken instead of a percentage matching?
