are we sure of this?? i was under the impression that Lucene does "first-found-first-returned", and as a result I ended up writing a sorting method on the results? so can i actually do away with that?
secondly, is it an ascending order by relevence or descending order by relevence - as in the term with the highest score comes at the top or at the bottom? finally, my queryString looks like: ( title:rishabh^4 OR title:bajpai^4 ) OR ( description:rishabh^3 OR description:bajpai^3 ) OR ( authcontrib:rishabh^2 OR authcontrib:bajpai^2 ) OR ( keywords:rishabh^1 OR keywords:bajpai^1 ) so, will the appropriate score be returned and terms sorted according to that? -rb -- On Fri, 7 Mar 2003 13:23:48 Aviran Mordo wrote: >The results are ordered by their score (relevance) > >-----Original Message----- >From: Rick Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 11:36 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Sort Order > > >What order does Lucene sort in?
