I gather from reading the documentation that the scores for each document hit are computed at query time. I have an application that, due to the complexity of the function, cannot compute scores at query time. Would it be possible for me to store the documents in pre-sorted order in the inverted index? (i.e. after the initial index is created, to have a post processing step to sort and reindex the final documents).
For example: Document A - score 0.2 Document B - score 0.4 Document C - score 0.6
Thus for the word 'the', the stored order in the index would be C,B,A.
Lucene 1.4 includes a Sort facility - look at the additional IndexSearcher.search() methods for details. By default, if the scores computed are identical, the results are then ordered by document id, which is the insertion order.
I hope this helps.
